I dunno....we WERE looking at 370's and G37's in stick form then the wife flipped the script and decided she wanted to look at a used CLK coupe. We drove one with the 7 speed auto and were so impressed that it's changed my view on autos all together

Hitting a paddle shifter is doing it yourself...but still not the same.

not the same at all. how could a computer match the feeling of accomplishment when you're ripping off perfectly rev matched heel-toe downshifts on an aggresive corner entry? dont try to use the its xxx hundreths of a second faster excuse. Thats bs, folks who buy one for the street should just admit they suck at driving and move on

7 speeds and dual-clutch?
Transmissions are getting too damn complicated for me these days.

The Honda Interceptor VFR1200 has 6-speeds dual clutch tranny.

I don't mind the paddle shifters. I actually like them. I wouldn't be driving that shit in the snow like in the pics above though.
