There's just no way to be satisfied with a 5AT!.... unless you're faced with miserable long daily commutes in traffic like LA and Boston (just two examples of the worst congestion in USA. There are plenty more... Atlanta also comes to mind as a real PITA!)

You have an 05 S2000? If so, it seems that we are in the same boat. I just can't imagine the G37 (or likely any other MT) come close to the S2000. I get enough of a leg workout between aerobics, treadmil, and swimming. I really am not into a heavy clutch and notchy shifter. I can't stress that enough.
I'm down here in South Florida and traffic can be a pain in the ****, so leaning more and more toward the 5AT. Based on reports, the shifts in the 5AT are to be more crisp and at redline when in sport mode. If that is the case, this gal will stop flicking the stick and start playing with paddles.

thanks the pix.. i cant wait for mine to arrive. i sub to all 4 major car mags..(R&T, C&D, motor trend, and Automobile).. yeah, im a car mag freak.. oh and did i mention i have modified mag too..lol!
i have an 05 6 speed and i think it's so-so. i'm kinda used to it now, but its far from been smooth. i have driven S2k and NOTHING and i mean, NOTHING in this world can touch honda transmissions. i have driven my buddies E46 M3 numerous times.. BMW makes good manual but still not as good as honda. thats what they do best and s2k is the best of them all.

That is not Athens Blue. It's a photoshop. Athens Blue is a moderately dark blue (available on current G Coupes).

The color chart is in this thread: http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=153191

^^Ok, so this was posted in the same thread you referenced as Athens Blue. The two don't look the same to me. I guess I need to see it in person because this Athens Blue seems to be kinda the chameleon color. Sometimes it's bright and sexy and other times it's pastel and meh.
