i value your opinion, however, i lean towards the looks of the 37 more. 
ride quality is night and day... at least until the rattles start. WAY WAY WAY less road noise. at this point, no popping or cracking or creaking or anything... just a nasty growl at mid rpms with windows down

No finagle, you SHOULD HAVE (not sure where this new "should of" grammatical error came from these days but it annoys the pants off of me) gotten the trans that makes you happy. I understand that there are these purists out there that think stick is the only way to go (and I happened to order a stick G37), but an auto trans doesn't make the car any less gorgeous. It's not a freakin' Ferrari. I don't understand where these losers come from that have to troll around here and pi$$ on peoples' parades. The car is fab finagle. Enjoy driving it this weekend. I hope to have mine next weekend!!!
Just playin' it's still a toss up between the two, but after weighing the pros and cons, I'm leaning towards the 6MT.
The choice is definitely up to the driver. I have a 15-20 drive to work and with my work hours, I dont need to worry about getting stuck in rush hour traffic with a 6MT. I drive an AT SUV right now and although I enjoy the laid back and relaxed driving, it gets boring at times.

the only rattle i heard was the passenger seatbelt brushing up against the interior (of course no one was sitting with me)... i turned it inside out so it was pointing towards the seat. if i recall.. my 2004 coupe did the same thing. otherwise the car is rattle/squeek/pop free so far.

My step-dad made me learn how to drive manual when I was 15 and I haven't had one since the 1997 Acura Integra GSR that I bought way back when. The 2001 Acura CL with the tiptronic shifter was a compromise, but not the real thing. I loves me a stick shift.
