I drove last week the wondeful AR Giulia Quadrifoglio with the manual box, and it was a real joy, a real driving experience. By the way, my next sport car will be manual for sure, even if here in Italy the 92% of all BMWs sold are with an automatic box today, (even if it couldn't be another BMW maybe).
good luck with that!!.. to be honest - it says something when Ferrari even acknowledge how good auto's are these days and stop making manuals..
