Because you need a proper center position to get the most out of that Tiptronic.

Doesn't look great, but it actually gives the car seating for three because of the legroom gained for the rear seats as stated in the article.

Nope, you were right. It's a 2010 so PDK. Some people have more $ than sense.

Nice to see they moved the gearshift back about a foot to give space for a cupholder!!

I'd gladly pay $100 to chat with the owner and ask him what the f*ck he was thinking.

I saw this exact car on eBay several month ago! It was hovering around $38k if I recall. I would never buy such a thing. Looks like they just traded it in at Carmax to get maximum value.
