Same here. I just upgraded from a 2013 1LE and before that I had a C5 Z06, which both only come in manual. I loved rowing my own gears but with the driving and traffic I encounter I went with the A8 this time around. It definitely is not a traditional slush box, it rips throug the gears super fast. I realize now when I was just casually shifting in normal driving how much delay I created because with this auto I find myself at the speed limit in what feels like no time. However with the manual you can get the engine singing a bit more and holding it in gear and decel all get more of the deceleration exhaust pop. With the A8 you can get is but I need to flip it into manual mode so it will hold the gear on decel.
