So just to bring Cadillac into this discussion...
In the history of the US automotive market and in the world when the US lead the industry, Cadillac was considered the standard of the world (their marketing slogan BTW). From the 1930's through the mid 1970's Cadillac was considered one of the best marques in the would to own. Until someone at GM decided to rely on the Cadillac name to sell badge-engineered Chevrolets. We've all seen the fight Cadillac is now engaged in for the last 12 years or so become one of the leading Marques to own again. Tarting up Chevrolets as Cadillacs was good for Cadillac sales too, for a while...

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
