Will you be getting 6MT or 7AT?

Give the 7AT a bit of credit. I have a G35xS with the 6AT and it is the second best automatic transmission I have ever driven. Manually shifting it makes the car very engaging and the rev match system is excellent. The rev matching on the AT was one of the major selling points of the xS for me.

As much as I love that 6AT, if I bought a 370z though I would likely still get the MT. The 6AT is awesome in my four-door sports sedan, but the two-seat coupe is an entirely different beast. My heel-toe is lousy (size 13 feet and knee problems) but I have high hopes that Nissan has developed a manual transmission that can compensate for my lack of ability. If it works as well as the rev matching on the 6AT I think the 6MT will be an easy sell.
