GM sucks for continuing to put this flawed A8 in year after year.
If I could do it all over again I would have bought the manual.
If GM were to offer to covert my A8 to a manual I would do it
in a heartbeat and eat the extra I paid for the A8 upcharge.
The A8 sucks and it will frustrate you.

I am really interested in grabbing the 2016 2SS with the A8 because of the price, but have done tons of reading and basically fear exactly what you said; that I'll just hate it. I drove two of them and while I didn't feel the shudder, I did feel the 'laggy' shift from 1st-2nd and sometimes from 2nd-3rd under regular driving and not slamming the pedal down.
The other vehicle I'm checking out is a 2019 1SS, brand new with the 6M. Every car I've owned has been a manual and I do love it, but I've recently moved to Toronto and drive in traffic frequently, so I was strongly considering the auto. I don't really feel like forking out the dough for the A10 2SS and there aren't any 1SS models with the A10 packaged out the way I want left on the market. I guess I'd probably be better off waiting for the 2020, but the 2019 is spec'd just how I want it, and I am eligible for the Costco preferred pricing promotion GM is running in Canada right now which saves me a few thousand bucks.
I guess I should probably just cross the 2016 off the list though if the transmission is really that bad.
