When you drive a manual you're always in control, whether its on the backroads or in rush hour. I would never have an AT in my sports car, takes all the fun out of it.
Obviously your comments come with no experience and you spend a lot of time on forums and just go with public opinion. There are a lot of reasons people choose manuals. But control has nothing to do with it. I have many years of using both trannies. The only thing you lose in a manual are good burnouts. Which cost u in wearing your tires down.

Nissan DRM automanual is the eptiome of slushboxes. You can engine brake, get split second shifts. (Faster than manual. And when you get enough practice. You can really surpass manual performance.
The only other advantage to manual is when modding, you cannot go past a certain horsepower without replacing the tranny. But like 95% of you, will never get passed 450rwhp so ur still good in a auto.
Paddle shifting makes things happen quicker. Engine braking is superior in the auto. (the most important control feature imho)
If you really want to feel true automanual performance. Try DCT on an M3, now going in the 135I. U say you would never do something without having any real experience. A 1 hour test drive does not let you know how capable this type of tranny is.

As far as exotics going auto. Who's gonna drive a manual @ 240mph. That's a tragedy waiting to happen. Again ignorance at its finest.
