I'd take a manual over an auto anytime and I frequently drive my car into Manhattan. Queens traffic is bad enough.

you mean a stick with physical clutch for the driver to use, that's a lot more fun that's for sure

Imagine what he'll do with a SL55/600

i knew this was coming.... theres no way an M5 was going to survive only available in SMG... even though it is faster, it doesnt give the driving experience of a true manual.

Most likely m5/m6 will not have manual gearbox.
There are bunch of sports cars on the market that are only available with SMG type gearbox and do just fine.
