Xander - I will always prefer MT, but I think you’ll be surprised - i hammered on a Panamera Turbo S with PDK for a weekend last spring in Cali…its fun. The launch control & gear changes are VIOLENT. Slams in each gear so hard, its a blast. I launched the car at every light over and over, and it never skipped a beat.
That is pretty sexy but I really wish more of these cars came in manual options. More and more of the high end sport seem to be moving away from the option it seems. I know a lot of the shifting methods in the newer cars have expanded but I still love the clutch and will always prefer true manual.
