22 , ordered 2LT/RS Automatic. I wanted the engine with the newest technology (V6 - Direct Injection), and chose the Automatic because I wanted paddle shifters. Im all about technology, so in my eyes... Automatic w/ Tapshift is the latest and greatest. I can control the gear shifts if I want to, or chose the let the CPU do it.
Plus... being my daily driver, I cant work my iPhone, eat, smoke, or play with my girlfriend next to me if I'm too busy working the stick and the clutch, now can i ??
I know manuals have more performance potential... but all i ask for is
