Yeah, not big on adjustable sounds or fake feedback. It's a g'damned car, not an entertainment device. Certainly don't need 800hp to go to the commute to work, run errands, or cruise on Saturday nights.
I have no short-comings that such crap would solve. I don't need a penis extender!

CVT cars usually "shift" because it freaked people out that they didn't. They don't add sounds to the shift as far as I know. It's just an abrupt change of RPM like an ordinary transmission. My wife's outback shifts most of the time occasionally under certain circumstances it'll actually perform in a CV manner.
My boxster has the PSE which opens baffles in the muffler when engaged so it's not fake sound.
Lots of cars also have gauges that work more like idiot lights. For instance lots of temp gauges are built in a way that they show 3 temperatures, low, regular, high. The"regular" temp puts the needle dead middle of the scale whether the actual temp is 180°, 200°, or 230°.
