I dunno, I drove, talked with a rep at the stealership, I didnt have any major problems with it, and the seats were surprisingly comfortable for a big guy... the coupe is more up my alley because of needing to drive it in the winter and snow doesnt bode well for a drop top.

Before anyone gets the idea that I'm badmouthing automatics, out of the 29 cars I've owned, six have been automatics. My current vehicle, a 1.5L box, is an automatic. Each time I had an automatic it was for a reason, but except for one (a 426 Hemi with an automatic), that reason was NOT performance...
Now, can we please get back to rice and taters?
Thanks! :D
