I agree everyone should learn how to drive schtik too. I did for many, many years and before choosing an auto with the FRS I drove both. For me the auto in this car is one of the best if not the best I have owned (last car BMW dct). The educated have learned that Toyota did as much or more R&D on the auto for this car. It shows, the gearing is spot on for high speed cruising, it is more robust than the manual and SSP already makes upgrades for it as they do for dual clutch boxes. The informed will also know there is a shift towards more conventional auto's with newer programming and shift times equaling some better dual clutch designs. Not all fluid trannies are created equal..
I will always have a soft spot for manual's and my next project will likely be a manual (older Porsche). They both have great merit.....just don't start on the auto being lame and inferior. It's just not fact.... Peace out
