Hey Shan2nu,

Nice review from you.

Whats happening in the above quote is called a "kickdown". As powerslave mentioned the new autos learn your driving style, but in the good old A/T days without electronics, you had to hit the accelerator to the floor and the tranny would downshift a gear. Very useful for overtaking!
