Autostick all the way. I couldn't imagine a german luxury sports car without Auto. I drove a Boxter once and the manual transmission was such a labor and Ive owned many manual cars. Crossfire is plenty fast and no one will race me yet. Ive passed a 350Z Roadster the other day and the guy just stared and didn't even hit the gas...! He had a 'What the heck was that" look. 8)
