that's the argument I never really understand. the automatic in the Z is a lot of fun and the GT-R with a DCT is a dream.
think about it for a second. a MT is a pain in the as s for everyday driving.
the part where driving gets fun is pedal to the floor, on a track, on the dragon or twisties, etc....
balls out the AT is just as fun if not more than a MT. yes the MT diehards will argue the MT you have more control and feel blah blah blah.
it's all the same......just minus a pedal. either model you're control shifts, RPMs, which gear you want going in and out of corners. yes the AT you cant jump 4th to 2nd or 5th to 3rd or whatever needs to be done. but it's still fun and useful.
now no more MT v AT talk. I like this thread too much lol

well to be fair older AT's were not as efficient and control was not the same. heck even in the 07 IS250/350 AT's the paddle control was sloppy. compared to 15' IS's which has so much better control.
i said this before but i can see in the next 5-10 years auto's being the norm and manuals will not exist in production anymore with how technology is coming along. power loss will be insignificant, shifts ARE faster (in newer auto's / entry level luxury lines), heck it's arguable it's safer as you're focusing on driving as opposed to shifting.
that being said i'm still glad i get to learn the MT skill.
