the other option is to get the v6, but with AT only...

not very realistic for me. honestly, starting to give me a headache.
You have to get the coupe model, and you get different gear ratios, too I was actually surprised that the 6MT was now standard in the lower models. Used to be a 5MT in the lower models and the 6MT was only available in the highest EX-L. I'm glad to see the 6 speed, but <200 hp is unbearable (excluding of course the Juke Nismo ). The EX-L is a considerable jump in power and torque. We would have considered one if it didn't cost more than we paid for the Z. My wife, being completely awesome, said we would buy a second Z before we did that we can't afford the maintenance on another Z :'(
