Nice video. Loved the dual cameras. I might be wrong, but i think you may have been in 3rd gear for the majority of the climb, and then briefly downshifted into 2nd near the end. I just noticed that in your descent video (in D4), your rpm's were roughly 3500 around 65mph. In this video, your rpm's were closer to 5000 around 65mph. I might be wrong. I'm not sure if automatics behave the same way as manuals.
I wonder if you could have put it in LOW to force it to downshift, if you wanted to accelerate, or reach a higher speed. I'm still unsure of what LOW does exactly. The manual does say something about it using gears 1-5. I can see it being similar to a "sport mode" where it raises each shift-point to a higher rpm. I don't blame anyone for not wanting to experiment with it with their new $40k+ vehicle. I'm sure it has safety measures built in (to not shift into 1st at 60mph, or something), but you never know. My guess is that it would downshift to the lowest gear below the redline. Who wants to be the guinea pig? ; ) I'll probably have to wait until i buy my g2 to find out. (After the break-in period, of course) : )
