I think a better question is who wouldn't want this? Additional control over what your vehicle is doing is never a problem...

I thought it was dumb of the guy to say "who would want this in a minivan?" for the auto stick. They are trying to make the vans more sporty and appealing to guys instead of the normal soccer mom, the auto sick is really a really cool feature.

hahaha SO true about interior plastics!
Also, I have a 5 speed Auto-Stick in my Nitro and you DON'T have to put it in 'N' to get the trasmission out of 'Auto-Stick' mode and into 'Drive.' So, either for some strange reason that system works differently in vans, or this guy is a huge retard. All you have to do is hold the gearshift at the '+' side of the gate, and in a little more than 1 second(!) the transmission changes to 'Drive' on it's own. No neutral involved.

All the vans we looked athad alot ofplastic. Option for option: The grand caravan sxt can't be beat. That auto stick is a wierd option but the 6 speed tranny is really nice.
