I give props to actual engineering genius creations from R&D regardless of the badge the vehicle has on it! I love my 7AT, ordered my girl Vanity that way for a reason!  |
All of the autos you mentioned are actually clutchless manual transmissions whereas the 370Z is a traditional automatic with a torque converter. That being said, with all the raves of how good it is, I wish I would have at least test driven an auto 370...lol. Oh well, I love my 6MT except when I'm in stop and go traffic!!
