Gearboxes: Manual or Automatic?

^ Gave you thanks.
Removed thanks.
Rather gave Karma.
But I had to spread it around first.
Gave you thanks again.

Guibo - you rock.

Interesting how the old slushbox torque convertor auto continues to make a name for itself as a viable and capable piece of transmission kit. In my opinion, only the most specialised sporting cars like 911s, GTRs, Italia's and M3 GTSs need dual clutch gearboxes. For the rest, well I could care less that a Jag XFR has a conventional auto - it suffers none for it.

Here's the question: what should the new M5 be? DCT or 8 speed auto? ;)
 
^ It should be a DCT and it's going to be exactly that :)

Manual option is possible. Automatic not so much.
