Has for a while, our 2011 Durango has the same Vorad sensor the Volvos did with the little round sensor in the bumper. Love my adaptive cruise control, Momma won't use it though. :)

We've currently got 10 brand new Volvo's on our yard and if it were up to me you could have every one of them (hopefully they'll ship them all out)!!! They all have Cummings engines with the crappy Eaton transmissions (same as the KW's) with the push button gear selectors mounted to the sides of the seat!! Nothing has changed, the interiors look exactly like the 12XXX series I used to drive, except mine had the Volvo engine with the I-shift tranny which is soooo much better IMO.
If I could get a T-680 with a stick I'd never want to give it up!!

IMO, the big west coast mirrors on the Volvo's create major blind spots when attempting to pull out in traffic....a redesign/reposition on those would be nice as well.
Absolutely, a severe blind spot! Mostly right side, but also left.

We need to go back to sticks
And get rid of most of the electronics
But from what I here a lot of our so called truck drivers can't drive a stick

So what you're saying is you don't like saving fuel (Auto's) and you don't like the electronics. Could it be that you're tired of the vorad screaming at you for tailgating? Just asking....

Hate to break it to you guys, but AMT's are here to stay. My Cascadia has a stick, but it's my understanding that the next one is gonna be a DT12 AMT because they save fuel and Detroit offers a serious warranty if you get a "complete" drivetrain.
I'm not fond of the idea of going down The Smasher on the Coquihalla without the stick to control it, but I suppose I'll have to wait and see what the DT12 is like.
Hopefully Eaton can get the Ultrashift to operate like the I-Shift one of these days.

Somebody is in a foul mood today.
Certainly with your experience, you know you can beat on an auto just like you can beat on a manual... The big reason for going with the auto seems to be to increase the driver pool and also to lower maint costs.

The manual shift controls are very rarely omitted, but they are optional. I wouldn't want an AMT that didn't have manual override.
