I greatly prefer cables too.
Drive by wire allows for the computer to
behave in ways that the driver does not want. I have a Saturn Vue for my
wife with drive by wire. Snapping the throttle shut between shifts increases
emissions slightly, so they decided to slowly shut the throttle instead when
you let off between shifts. This little quirk drives me nuts every time I
drive it.
It's a great little mini-SUV otherwise and the wife doesn't seem
to mind the throttle
Mike.

IMO a cable
should be mandated. It may not be any better but for my peace of mind I like
one. My diesel is wire and I don't feel all that warm and fuzzy. I really do
like drive by wire.
