V6 Auto, am still happy with it being an auto, would've loved it even more with an M6 though.

Manual V8
Love having a manual transmission but not a lover of the implementation in this car.
Shifting as standard is not good - and thats with me having clocked up 100s of thousands of miles on other manual cars.
MGW shifter helped a lot on 2nd-3rd - but I cant say I 100% "trust" the transmission - and its clear that the clutch on the SS needs a very precise approach

Too classy to shift, I did that when I had my vw bug. who wants to sit around holding in a clutch pedal at lights..... my philosophy

I don't understand how your poll could be at 50/50!

well this is 50/50... out of 2010 SS/Auto's ONLY.

the people who have voted "Yes" are obviously troubled by this problem. the other half either don't notice it, think it's normal, put the pedal to the metal all the time, or possibly use the tap shifters to stay in lower gears/higher rpm's

hmmm.. "sports car" no..... it is and always have been (the camaro) a MUSCLE car. And just for your info, I think nothing but a V8 should be in a muscle car. So take your v6 and shove it.

edit: and i will vote for auto when i buy my car.

Just my opinion, but...
This poll is completely inaccurate. It will over-represent the V8 manuals because those are the enthusiasts who frequent this site the most. Compare these results to what was posted a few weeks back in the distribution numbers and graphs. You will find results from this poll are way off.

Not cool telling a guy with a V6 to shove it for not getting a V8 especially when all you have is a civic.
