Automatic w/Paddle Shifters

I'd rather have my free hand in a woman's lap than on the stickshift, so 7AT for me. I'm not that great with stick and the winters out here are horrible, not to mention the traffic we get. I don't plan on getting a winter beater so I'm eager to find out how this car will perform on ice and snow.

Not only that but the sport-mode automated manual trannies nowadays will outperform any manual transmission, given that the automatics in most sports cars nowadays will shift faster than any human being could possibly shift. The only argument manual tranny purists have now is weight and feel; performance is not an argument in the 21st century.
