TT 3.0. Maybe only auto though.

Driving an auto is pretty simple, if you can drive a 6MT, you should pick it up pretty quickly.

Yeah, but then I'd have to turn gay, and mentally I'm just not prepared for that.

Agreed, no manual is a no go. I'll be looking elsewhere for a new car.
I figure I'll eventually stop driving manual only when I'm too old, crippled, blind and have nothing to live for anymore.

Lol it's totally personal preference but we all know the auto gear box will shift faster.

Better lube up those finger tips and get ready. A paddle shift isn't so bad around s track. Makes driving alot easier. But it does water down daily driving. I find if the engine isn't very loud I forget to downshift and roll to the light in 4th gear or something

Nah, you'll still drive one then. Only it'll be a racecar bed in your retirement home.

My gfs smart4two has them. Dislike. Its nothing like a stick other than you can control what gear you're in. Pretty sure you can do that in any auto.

Yep, paddle shifter is a gimmick. Never even used it on my 3IS Fsport. Not the same as a 6mt.

Even though I hated the G35 due to all the issues, I wish I had kept it as a weekend car or something.

Because there will be no other like it. Rear active steer was awesome.

Now that I have driven and owned a 3IS and the Q50. I appreciate the G35 a lot more.

As for the New Q60, I won't be getting it since it will be equipped with DAS. DAS is horrible. DAS is also a gimmic and feels very artificial. Remote Control Steering...

The Q60 will probably not come with a 6MT also.

Maybe and if it was faster, not much faster. We're talking like .05 of a second or something.

Besides, 6mt are more fun to drive. No one tracks their car daily so being .05 faster is nothing to brag about.

They say auto gets better MPG too. But in the real world, the Q50 gets Horrible gas mileage compared to my 6mt.
