I imagine so, as something like the old "kick-fast" function would be difficult, with the elastic band throttle action of Eco-Pro.

I've got a feeling the subtle differences will mean a very sensitive driver will feel his/her car is behaving differently every time you drive, according to what you switch/configure and if you adjust your style a bit.

Personally not to sure on "transmission control with foresight" if it is more advanced than the "cornering detection" that I have in my 6-speed.
