I seem to recall that the VW Beetle's "Autostick" was marketed as "Automatic Stick Shift." Was this a registered trademark or formal name for the feature? 66.234.222.96 ( talk) 13:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC) reply

The first application of the Volkswagen Automatic Stickshift transmission came in the 1968 Beetle, which was also the first Beetle to offer IRS (independent rear suspension) instead of the swing-axle version transmission as used on the '68 & earlier Beetles with the traditional 4-speed manual transmission. In 1969, the Automatic Stickshift transmission option began being offered on the Karmann Ghia; VW dropped the Automatic Stickshift trans altogether in 1976 on the Beetle & Super Beetle. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.242.248.77 ( talk) 02:12, 23 November 2009 (UTC) reply

Thanks for the info, it has been added to the article. Improbcat ( talk) 20:06, 23 November 2009 (UTC) reply

was that name actually used by VW in any way? <YES> You'd think they would have sued chrysler if so. <NO>

In any case the VW and Chrysler systems are so vastly different i'm not sure they should be grouped into a single article like this. <They are both named Autostick>

well then the language should be cleaned up. "has been used" begs a "by who" tag. And a citation of course. Gjxj ( talk) 19:03, 16 July 2021 (UTC) reply

Based on the description provided in the Chrysler Autostick section & the date at which it became available the technology sounds like Porsche’s tiptronic system which was sold under license/rebranded by many other manufacturers. The technology referenced here is just a standard automatic transmission that can respond to driver inputs as to what gear to select, within the predefined parameters programmed into the control unit.

I will update the VW section to clarify that the VW system, from the 60’s, was not a licensed very of Chrysler’s system from the 90’s… If there is a justifiable reason to have a specific reference to the Chrysler branded version it may make sense, to avoid confusion, to split it up into it’s own page. However, I believe it would make more sense to just add this as a line item to whatever page is used for the Tiptronic system. Appoli13 ( talk) 15:45, 28 September 2022 (UTC) reply
