I think this is the problem with people test driving the A8 Camaros vs people taking delivery of their ordered cars. We need some actual owners who have got 500 miles or more on their cars to take some video. I've heard the same complaints about lag in the paddles on the BMW forums, but I never have any appreciable delay with mine.

I've got 2k miles on mine. The shifts are still delayed the same as the day I bought it over a month ago. I definitely wish they occurred faster than they do with the paddles. Other than that, I do think the A8 is an amazing transmission. My last two cars were manual and I had no real plans to switch back to auto. If this car hadn't impressed me as much as it did on a test drive, I would have gone with the manual.
