May be in far future if there will be manual fans searching for such car, in short terms resale would hurt.
apl, I really don't know how you can translate emotions into percentage, honestly. This is not a numbers or percents - its all-new car, it has strong DNA and clues from latest Lambos, but it is all-new.

IMO the manual vs paddles debate is old hat. In the last 3 years I've had two manual Lambos (inc a Superleggera), three egear Lambos, a manual gen 2 GT3, and a paddleshift 16M. I used to be dyed in the wool manual fan, but now I just love the paddles. The new ISR shifter on the LP700 will in my opinion be a defining feature of the car, a bit like the rifle crack changes on the 16M only more so and with 200bhp more. I personally didn't like the recent Lamborghini manuals, they're like stirring glue. DCT I'm less sure about, it is simply too efficient, I hate the Porsche PDK for a start - Lamborghini have this exactly right IMO. I'm hoping Ferrari go this way with the F70 too (provided I get a car allocated of course!)
I love and have always loved the paddleshift.
I have a couple of DD´s with manual, that is enough for me. When I play, I want paddleshift.

The fact is... today we're losing the essence of the sport driving, i think there's more taste in driving certain supercars with the manual gearbox instead of the paddles, today in most of the cars there's anymore the option for the manual gearbox, take a look at Ferrari with the 458; i have never seen an LP560-4 with the manual gearbox.

From what I've heard and seen the looks and technology in this car is amazing. This will be a huge hit. Not only will it be an insanely gorgeous car, but I think it'll also be THE performance benchmark. Never have those two been so much one and the same car.
Plus they announced the Estoque is going into production today, which I can picture as a success as well. Future's looking bright for our friends in Sant'Agata, BO.
