It seemed to be that automatic transmissions with a manual shifting mode were forward for upshifting, back for downshifting.
Vehicles equipped with SMG, dual clutch transmissions we're forward for downshifting and back for upshifting.
You could buy a Porsche 911 with PDK and an automatic Cayenne and they manually shifted opposite of each other.
Over the past few years, it seems the approach has been to standardize. My assumption is the rise of dual clutch has seen manufacturers flip how the autos do it to better align and make it consistent.
Regardless, it's the way it is. And while frustrating for some, if you use manual mode often, the mental rewiring doesn't take long and you will adjust.
