Well said, and while I risk requiring a flame suit for this, many are discounting the fact the A10 is a multi-corporation transmission that will soon (next cycle) be available in most trucks and SUVs, Lincoln Continental, Mustang, and probably eventually the Impala and Taurus too. Is it a great transmission, I have no doubt about that, but it is not ground breaking or earth shattering, or the best thing since the invention of the ICE as some would believe. If I was buying this car as a daily driver, and was going to be in traffic a lot, every day, then I'd get the A10, but for enjoyment, no, I have a PDK that can run 11.5s all day, and my wife can run that time in it, not hard, easily repeatable, and honestly as a result, just not that much fun after a few times. Moral of the story, I'd save the $16,000.
