The auto on the 370 is def unlike any AT system I've ever tried. You'll be happy with this especially on rush hour traffic. I remember LA traffic when I use to live in Cali driving my 75 280z in MT. It was the only time I wasn't having fun with my z.
I can imagine back in the early days of automobiles, specially out in the west when cowboys scoffed at people who drive the model Ts. "Real men don't drive cars, Real men ride horses!" is the most common phrase they probably heard,lol. That's what comes to my mind when I hear the ole machismo phrase "real men only drive stick".
