Re: getting fast cars in automatic....

The only drawback is the cost associated with developing a new technology, but in terms of performance there is no argument that these transmissions are superior to old school MTs in every way. So while they are expensive and most likely unavailable to the car OP is considering, the fact that this technology DOES exist in a practical form makes all these arguments centered around how you're a pansy if you drive anything other than a fully MT pretty lame IMO.

Yup, the people saying these types of transmissions are for pussies are pretty ridiculous.
I was talking to my roommate the other day, and asked if he would ever consider a car that had just the stick-shift, but no need to use the foot clutch. He said he'd never want that.
I was like... WTF? Why? Isn't the joy in driving a manual playing with the stick shift? I personally think the foot clutch is the biggest pain.
D10 - which production level cars actually have these types of transmissions? Any that are moderately affordable?
