There are plenty of JDM cars with paddle shifters...we are talking about everything from sedans, to SUVs, to staion wagons to kei cars. You don't see them much in SL because 90% of the cars that get imported to SL are either fuel sipping econo boxes or base grade variants just dressed up. If someone starts a rumor in SL saying that paddle shifters increase fuel efficiency then there will be plenty of JDM cars with paddle shiters.

ok but see me pointing 'toyota'. not just jdm. we all know honda etc. come with it even this moment ....

I missed the Toyota part....plenty of Toyotas have paddle shifters. Again...just that what comes to SL are the econo boxes or the non-sporty, run-of the mill variants of models...so in any brand those will not have paddle shifters. For example in the JDM Corolla family the only sporty models were the Auris, which came with paddle shifters or 6M/T in the sports grade and in the previous generations the Fielder S.... The Toyota Vanguard had paddle shifters on the Sport grade...so did some grades of the Harrier...limited editions of the Vitz RS had paddle sifters, Mark X has paddle shifters, some grades of the Crown Athlete has paddle shifters, etc....then in the 90s and early 2000s some models had buttons on the steering wheel to change gears....

None of these grades came to SL because what came were the thel higanna variants of all these models
