A6 or M6?

Assuming we'll have the option of a 6 speed manual or a 6 speed AUTO, which would you pick? My last two Camaros have been stick, but my first one was an automatic. I'm thinking I may go with the A6 this time if the performance is basically the same. One big issue I would have is if it has some kind of auto-stick for the twisties...I would definitely miss holding the gear I want.

What about you?

Re: A6 or M6?

Until they start putting an F1 style system in stuff like Ferrari uses I can't imagine driving anything but an M6...

Re: A6 or M6?

If GM could get their paddle shifters right...cough...Europeans...cough. I'd get one of those. The tap shifts I have seen in Pontiac and on the Vette just don't work-using thumbs to upshift is tough going around corners, etc. Look at F1, Ferrari, Lambo, etc. they may be expensive systems, but they work. Also, GM could spread development cost (10K option in Lambo) over many models and brands. I have no idea what this cost is, but I'd sure like to know. If this doesn't happen I'm going for the the old manual. Anybody else feel this way about GM's tap shift, etc?

Re: A6 or M6?

i drove a freinds eclipse with the slap stick and its just not the same as a manual and i imagine the paddel shift takes away from it even more.

Re: A6 or M6?

My '85 TA and '96Z had the A4, but the '02SS has the M6, which I really like. However, I drove a Corvette with the A6 and that's what I want next. Yes, you can hold a gear using the paddles.
