daily car, such as Panamera or Turbo i'd go with PDK. however, if it's a weekend fun 911, such as GT3, manual no doubt. it's just more involving to drive.

People can bang on and on about how great manual mode is, but truth be told, I don't want it. I want to challenge myself by making a deft 3-2 downshift. I want to be able to clutch in and coast sometimes (or put it in neutral and coast). Like I said before, PDK is great commuters and for people trying to get those last seconds on a track.

My next sports car of whatever manufacture will be a manual.

Not unless the manufacturer forces you to get an e-gear flipper-flapper auto tranny. FORZA FERRARI.

Also the Cayenne still only has Triptronic, 8 speeds though!

Are you trying to be ironic? Ferrari has officially lost me as a potential buyer by excluding manual transmissions. If you are a huge proponent of manual transmissions, there's no way you should be cheering Ferrari.

Yup, being Ironic. Glad you could read into the satire.

To the OP, wouldn't the more appropriate question be; NuVinci automatic shifting gear hub or traditional Shimano 7 speed?

Sturmey Archer 3 Speed fixed gear hub. They are actually making them again. Instead of farting around with buying the antique hubs from the 50s!
