My main point was from a performance stand point this automatic brings nothing to the table like somhbe claim. It is not a rapid shifting pdk or dsg as some have compared it to. The gearing is not nearly as aggressive as the manual which has a significant impact on track times and worsens the lack luster acceleration of this car. It weights more, and it has significantly more drive train loss (10+ whp loss compared to the manual transmission. )
If these things don't matter to you and you prefer better gas mileage and easier bumper to bumper driving, then by all means go with the automatic (there are plenty available at the moment.)

While we ultimately may see the auto in different lights, I think the important thing to take away from this is you and I are both capable of utilizing masturbation references and constructive criticism all in the same thread.
