So I ended up w/ the Auto. I'm a manual kind of guy by far (Vipers, Lotus, etc) -- but sitting in city traffic is brutal w/ a manual (even w a very light clutch). If anyone has ever been on I-77 at 5pm, you know what I mean.This is my daily driver, so I need to have it as stress free as possible. In addition, while my wife *can* drive a stick, but dealing with it and the little one in the back seat is much harder than it looks. I tend to want to keep her happy, so I may increase my toy collection over the long haul
Overall, I'm pretty happy with what I went with. I'm still hunting for a weekend toy - which will be a stick - for when I just need to get out of the city area and blast around.
A DSG box would have been pretty slick, but the response of the factory slushbox is actually quite nice. As soon as someone unlocks the ECU's torque cut feature, we'll be in business
