To be honest, I think you'd have a harder time reselling an automatic 370z. There is a stigma associated with AT that is very hard to shake. You see it all the time when people claim "I will never buy a GT-R because it is automatic," really the reason they will never buy one is because they cannot afford one, but let's humor those people for the purpose of our discussion.
The 370z's automatic transmission has paddle shifters and that is perhaps its only saving grace, but it's still a slow torque converter rather than an exotic double clutch. They will appeal to some people (myself included), but are no longer synonymous with a high performance DCT (the new Altima even has them on its silly CVT).
