ADias:
I can see one's hand hitting the windshield wiper instead of shifting up Smiley

        I suspect that Porsche will have taken a look at how Aston, Audi, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Mercedes, etc. have handled the placement of the paddles over the last 10 years or so, to avoid exactly what you suggest might happen. I can't say having driven all of them with paddles that I hit anything other than the right gear everytime. Unlike PDK where it's far too easy to shift into the wrong gear.

Hopefully Porsche has learned from its "New Coke" approach to fiddling with the shifter  interface just for the sake of being different, rather than creating a genuine industry-leading improvement that would be copied by the names listed above.

Perhaps Porsche has finally listened to its market after all.
