If so would you chose AMT over MT?

Launch control, split second shifts, less power loss between shifts, and all the other pluses to a dual clutch would be pretty cool. The only cons to it is the slight clankiness at lower speeds and less fun with shifting. Just my opinion..

If I'd wanted an auto I'd have bought the GTR.

In the UK the auto is 1400 pounds more not free. They must look at the demographics and determine their best sales strategy.
