Proper automatics can be just as responsive and even shift quicker than manuals... VW DSG anyone? The new Porsche 911 Turbo?

C'mon now. Plus, when my wife needs to be comfortable driving it and she wants an auto... who am I to argue? She approves all the mods! :P

The Audi/VW DSG, is not an automatic by any means. An automatic/autostick car has a torque converter, the DSG does not have one. Its based on the principal of a clutch, in the case of the DSG two clutches. I'd suggest that you look up the workings of an automatic transmission and direct shift gearbox. You'll notice that they only have one thing in common and that is that they each have two pedals for the driver to use.
