Agree. I'm guessing the original question was asking whether the manual still goes well with G8X given its larger size and hence more "GT" car like characteristic i.e. a fast and comfortable long distance cruiser. As an owner of G80 6MT, I don't think this car is that, at all, especially with its planted, balanced, and tossable handling characteristic and the best steering I ever felt in any car. My definition of GT cars would be cars like M8, AMG GT, Panamera, but I've never driven these cars either so I could be wrong.
Brian Makse in his recent review of the manual M4 seems to think that M4 is in fact a GT car and therefore the auto is a better choice.

I've never driven the M4, but can't really imagine it'd be too different than the M3, which again, perfectly suits the 6MT.
