I don' t mean to hate, but c'mon.... really!!!!

I think you do mean to hate, a disclaimer at the end doesn't really change anything. This car has a great 7AT and there's nothing wrong with it. Read my journal and tell me I bought it to make it look pretty. Or come take me on at a track down here with your 6MT and show me how big your e-penis is

Also if you look at the new Porsche 911 turbo, the paddle shifting has a faster 0 to 60 than the manual...
Down to the point having control over the gears by using the paddles is a manual without the clutch...

I agree that sequential-manuals are the future, but the 7AT is no closer to that ideal than the 6MT, they're just coming at it from different sides. There's a huge difference in the shift times (and drivetrain losses) between a real auto like our 7AT and a real SMG like Porsche and the GT-R have.
