Either way, I am a manual guy even though I have driven some good automatics. Personally, if I get tired of 3 pedals at some point in life(hopefully not), I'd just buy a hybrid or EV. If I am not shifting, I may as well get some extra efficiency out of it.
I am imagining the A10 is holding up better so they are offering it in the 1LE now.

The A8 only overheated in early C7Zs, not a problem in the Camaros and never heard of lesser C7 vettes overheating either. I think the only reason the SS 1LE is yet to have the auto is purely the heritage thing of manual track package. Chevy broke that with the ZLE and see a great opportunity for more sales with an A10 SS1LE.
