This only matters to some people
but, I started to head away from Camaro and into Mustang due to two things. Lower weight, and great rear and side visibility including a blind spot monitor. Then to my disgust, I discovered the 2011 Mustang 500 GT has a slush box for an auto tranny. Clearly a high quality modern slush box but it has no driver interface such as paddle shifters or a Tiptronic. That was the deal breaker for me. All I need to know is, "do Formula1 drivers long for manuals?" The answer is no. The modern select shift in almost all well designed cars, will beat a manaul. My suspicion is that Ford didn't offer it because an old fashinoed auto gives tne manufacturer great control over fuel mileage and helps their overall average. Just my opinion.
