Default For the lazy.

22 years manual. Nothing else will do for me. Maybe an automatic if I sat in traffic all the time.

I do like the sound of the new DSG technology though. But after experiencing the Porsche Cayenne's tranny/shifting - I don't like this "auto shift" gear box stuff. Not sure how the Audi CVT compares though.

They would've left everything in if Americans in general had a modicrum of self control and took personal responsibility for their actions.
