Not so sure about that. The slush boxes in the G37 are really nothing to brag about. After driving both...for a fact, I can shift way harder in the 6MT.

AT Tranny not built to be aggressive? How do you define aggressive? The auto can be pushed just as hard as a manual and be fine. Yes there are shift lags, but its actually one of the better ATs i have seen. I think debating speed between a 7AT and 6MT is rather pointless. The numbers will be negligible. It really boils down to what you like better. Anyone who claims one is better than the other is just spitting out their bias towards one transmission over the other. Pick the one you want and be happy with it.

Originally planed to get g37S MT coupe but got no stock in dealership but great cheap offer on 09 g37x coupe/premium 09 leftover and I got it. No regrets on 7AT tranny, very responsive and fast shifts. Also 7 gears saves some gas for sure. However next G coupe will be MT anyway I just prefer control car myself....
Also just be real, 80% of the time we are in heavy traffic where MT is tough, but still like it more.

If you're comparing it to a honda auto transmission, sure...its "aggressive".
Its relative to the cars you're used to.
