Seeing as Tiptronic is a Porsche trademark, and I doubt he's mated a Porsche box to a 2.2 Omega, I would have to agree with tunnie

You get it on many cars, but that term is from Porkers.

"The Tiptronic transmission had debuted for the first time ever only 3 years prior to the debut of the 968, on the 1989 Type 964 911"

To borrow from Wikipedia:

Quote
Tiptronic is a registered trademark, owned by German sports car maker Porsche, who license it for use by other manufacturers, such as Land Rover and the Volkswagen Group (Audi, SEAT, Škoda and Volkswagen).

Many people (erroneously) use the term 'tiptronic' to refer generically to any type of torque converter automatic transmission that incorporates a manual upshift/downshift feature.
