Maybe I'm old school but driving one of these immaculate machines I'd want to be able to row my own gears and have control of the driving experience. Having all the electronics and computer sensors doesn't do it for me, I don't car if the transmission can shift in 5 milliseconds it doesn't replace a true 3 pedal system in my opinion.

I get where you're coming from, and it makes total sense since exotics, being as captivating as they are, are all about the emotions and driving experience --- clearly making a classic manual an extension of that. Unfortunately, IMO, the performance level associated with these high end cars has simply come to a point where we (humans) can't keep up. It would be nice if companies would simply keep a manual as an option, but I'm also for all the new age tech---including the flappy paddle gearboxes!
