No. The Acura ILX is an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.
Paddle shifters are little paddles found on the back of a steering wheel, so you dont have to reach down for the stick shift.
Most models do. Some have paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
The Pagani Huayra has paddle shifters mounted behind the wheel but also has a stick shift manual in the standard location for a stick shift. But if you shift with the paddle then want to shift with the manual stick, how does that work? Because you can technically be in second in the stick, then paddle into third, then stick back into third or whatever you want. The gear that you put the paddle into won't correspond to the gear that the stick is in. How does this work?
To manually control the shifting of the transmission. Either downshift, upshift or hold in a gear.
A unique design, paddle shifters, and wide and low, short shape.
It has an automated manual. It is really a manual transmission that is controlled by a computer. The driver can let the car shift it self or use paddle shifters, there is no clutch. This transmissions shift a little faster than regular manual, but aren't as fun.

It means Manual Mode. That is where the paddle shifters come in, + for upshift - for downshift
Not really. Paddle shifters work on transmissions designed for them. Check this out from WikiPedia;A semi-automatic transmission (also known as automated transmission, self-changing transmission, clutchless manual transmission, automated manual transmission, flappy-paddle gearbox, or paddle-shift gearbox) is an automobile transmission that does not change gears automatically, but rather facilitates manual gear changes by dispensing with the need to press a clutch pedal at the same time as changing gears. It uses electronic sensors, pneumatics, processors and actuators to execute gear shifts on the command of the driver or by a computer. This removes the need for a clutch pedal which the driver otherwise needs to depress before making a gear change, since the clutch itself is actuated by electronic equipment which can synchronize the timing and torque required to make gear shifts quick and smooth. The system was designed by automobile manufacturers to provide a better driving experience, especially in cities where congestion frequently causes stop-and-go traffic patterns.
