Funny because I'm currently buying a 370Z (I'm french), and the AT is actually an option that cost 2300 euros (3140$)... the question of "do you want a auto transmission" when you buy a car came in France only 5-6 years ago... It's a cultural thing, we don't have huuuuuge long highway to cruise on (even our president is small...), cars here don't have huge engines and basically, at always suffered a bad reputation (fuel consumption, slow down ad uses the engine). Still today, when you takes driving lessons, it's ALWAYS on a manual gearbox.
Even the AT 350z wasn't available in France...
But I tried the auto transmission Z, and that's what I want ! Especially since there is the possibility to use the semi-auto and roar the engine as much as you want !
