Ok here is the thing I'm going for this local deal and she thought they were 12 speeds but was not sure, so 12 speed only comes in auto 2 pedal deal? How does it work?

1 gas pedal, 1 brake pedal. Selector switch on the dash or in a console in between the seats. Push "d" then press the gas pedal. The motor will automatically decrease the rev's of the motor and perform a shift. Alternatively you can also force a down shift. That could be done for a traffic light or a hill. Some Drivers love it, some hate it. I have not had the opportunity to try one out for more than a few minutes.
