POLL: V8 Owners - Would you opt for a manual tranny if offered?
So I thought I'd ask the other V8 owners - would you have gone for a manual tranny if it was offered? How about SMG or SSG? Or..., would you have chosen the steptronic that you have now? SMG: 1 paddle for up, the other for down SSG: both paddles can shift up or down I'm guessing the market just isn't there for this type of vehicle, especially in the U.S., but it sure would be nice to have the option... Thanks for participating in my little poll!...

I like the tranny that is offered. My friend has the 3.0 with the 5spd which is nice but when I drive the X I like not having to worry about the gears. That's why you have two vehicles, one stick one auto.

No manual tranny for me. I live and drive striclty in the city with way too much stop & go traffic. SMG is fine.

Wow - interesting. Lots of votes for SMG but none for SSG? Between the two, I'd prefer SSG so that I could shift up or down with either paddle - I think that would be helpful as it wouldn't matter if the wheel was turned - no looking or fumbling to make sure you're hitting the right one.
For those of you who chose SMG, I'm curious, why SMG over SSG? I feel like I'm missing something...???
