Questions about manual vs. automatic transmission
LOL Yeah, I'd like to see a guy getting a road lollipop while shifting. 
"Hold on sweetie- let me get us out of the city first..." "Wait sweetie... let me downshift and show this school bus who's boss."
On an objective power side, if a guy upgrades or blows out a clutch after deciding to go for more power then it's what? 1500-2k? (Seriously, don't know but I know it's a lot less than replacing an AT trans.)
There are maybe three types of people who buy the G35- because it looks sharp / classy and performs reasonably compared to what MOST are used to... People who want that classy look and plan on going for bigger numbers (FI is the only option for that) for whatever reason they're choosing... and people who will likely transition from the first to the second.

Do you enjoy driving a manual? If yes, get a 6MT.
Since the OP's original question was about maintenance, and there's not a huge difference either way, that's really the only question to ask. People can argue for days on the virtues of MT over AT or vice versa, but it really just comes down to driving preference.

Threads like these get so pointless so quick.
Sad to see the members who have been here for a few year still get caught up in it as well... as if they have never come across one of these threads before.
Who cares if you got a 5AT or 6MT... both have strong suits.

A bunch of guys at work just came into my office and asked what all the commotion was about. They said it sounded like I was either laughing hysterically or getting beaten to death-
Everyone needs a good laugh.

5AT w/ Transgo shift kit is pretty fun in a 05 coupe w/ the auto-rev downshift. As close as I'm gonna get to having an exotic dual-clutch feeling
That auto-innovatio paddle shifter kit would be dope but feel the quality isn't as clean as OEM paddle shifters from the G37S 7AT. A-I's techs should develop a pair that fits the 05-07 w/ power steering coloum...
