Speaking of Germans knowing best, it reminds me of a discussion I had with a German friend of mine about which direction sequential shifting gearboxes should work.
Some makers will have 1st gear towards the driver and you push forward to move up gears - these are typically developed from cars with older style automatics that used to have D, 2, 1 on the selector. My previous Volvo was like that.
Then there is the PDK, BMW, etc method with 1st gear away from the driver and pull towards you for second etc.
My friend said in his thick accent:
It's simple, you can do it the German way or you can do it the wrong way.
