I am in a huge dilemma whether to get the IPL in automatic or manual. Im leaning towards the graphite shadow.

Yeah. I don't even see how you can even consider getting an automatic unless you have never driven a manual.

I own the AT and unless you drive your car like you,re on a track then I,d get the At especially if you do most of your driving in traffic

The G37 was my first manual.
I regretted getting an AT G35 after 4 months. While everyone was bragging how fun there's was to drive, I was just appreciating it looking good. I swore I would get the G37 in 6MT and I never regret it. Even in heavy traffic. It took me about 3 weeks to get the shifts down close to perfect. Anyone who owns a 6MT will tell you to get the 6MT. Most AT drivers regret not getting the 6MT. Not trying to bash any AT drivers, but unless they have never driven the 6MT, I don't know how they recommend the AT.

I've had several cars with manuals and enjoyed them, but now I prefer the modern auto transmissions.
I went with the GS instead of black. The GS color looks classy and stays cleaner looking then black. Black cars are a full time job to keep looking good.
That's just my personal taste.
