While I'm not intending to make any sweeping statements I'm pretty sure that even the BA's didn't have adaptive shift and given the sudden interest coinciding with the BF I'd imagine I'm guessing right. And while I've had staunch Holden boys argue black and blue their VS/VT has adaptive shift, I know for a fact they do not - and still do not. Thus Mitsubishi WAS (pre-BF) the only local manufacturer to offer any of this kind of tecnology - and has done so for nearly a decade. Same goes for tiptronic, and 5spd automatic. Oh yeah and the first to export, the first AWD, first with climate control std, first with four air-bags, first with ABS and EBD std, yada yada yada

And now I'll sit and laugh at all the anti-Magna comments from one-eyed supporters of other brands... Ha ha ha....

By the way, I used to work there, I studied everything on the market, I don't work there anymore, and oh yeah I drive the Ford proudly displayed in my avatar.

Incorrect. The first Ford to have adaptive shift was the EL GT in '97. AU XR's had it as did every BA model with the 4 speed.
