Why would this change the minds of us manual fans? We know it's not faster to have a manual and hasn't been for some time. I have yet to have a bad day, gotten in an auto/dual clutch/paddle shift car and received the same physical satisfaction of changing through the gears as with a clutch pedal.
I get the enjoyment factor, my question was at what point do you sacrifice performance for that manual shift? There must be a limit.

It occurred to me that the G8x could be the car where going manual is such a departure in performance, that it no longer makes sense.
