I am not insecure about my Auto either....Seems like some people want us to be..
Sorry, I could care less what someone else drives because it is their car...And I sure don't care what they think about what I drive or own...

It's laughable you 7AT guys compare your autos to a DCT. Different animals. I think the 7AT is a great mainstream trans, but I think an auto Z deserves a DCT (hopefully Z35?). Even the GTI has one... |

It was easier for the GTi to have one. VAG has spread the cost around to a lot of different models. Nissan only has the GTR tranny. They can use that one and raise the price, or develop a new one and raise the price. You can't amortize the r&d of something like that across a car that sells 10k units a year and not have a price increase.

The Fr-S got one thing right. The stick part of the auto looks respectable. Thats pretty brutal, but it was also 2 decades ago
