The 6 speed in the diesel are not made by GM but by Aisin. The trans in the diesel is very odd with really weird shifting patterns to keep the engine in the powerband.

The automatic in the gas cars are geared for fuel economy and will keep it in the best gear for that reason. My 1.8 company car was bad but the manual mode was a work around. My Focus does the same thing.

I'm pretty sure I told you to get the manual trans, Scott, but noooooooo

Cruze Eco or Sonic turbo with the manual trans are considerably more fun to drive.
