Semi auto 156s

[Jon Herbert <jherbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of the weekly UK car mags had some news on the 156 this week.

According to them, there will be two versions of the semi-automatic
gearbox.

The 2.0 TS will get the expected 355F1 type system, with buttons on
the steering wheel to change up/down, and a very simple gear stick to
select Drive / Park / Reverse.

The 2.5 V6 will get a normal gearstick, with four gears but no clutch
pedal.

The reviewer didn't like the V6, as he felt four gears weren't enough
for the engine, but loved the TS.
