Really? I do sit in traffic a lot, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to drive a car that well balanced in a 6 speed manual

Plenty of xb2 guys are boosted on auto with no problem, they just run a moderately sized tranny cooler. They do have to turn back the boost a small bit, but still make PLENTY of power :D

Does the auto have any sort of lsd option?

why does everyone ask about the rear seats? if you want a car with room for passengers don't get a sporty coupe...
