Thought it might be an interesting discussion.

The 458 italia will not have the option to be manual.

Instead you will have a 7-speed dual clutch automatic (paddles).

There is a very good chance that Ferrari will never go back to the good old gated manual trans on any cars.

While the paddles are seamless and faster, it takes something away from the whole entire experience. Now I know that more Ferraris (599,430 etc) are sold as autos than manuals now...But I think that taking the option away from the guys who want to be more involved is a horrible mistake.

What do you guys think?

SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it.

yeah I read up on that, seemed to be an over weighted vote by most of the pep who drive them would rather have that setup up instead. I guess if it still performs just as good then i wont matter to much. I just like manual cars though. this is my dream car to, I look at these cars everyday on ebay. I hope that one day after i grad from school i can save and get one. I know $250,000 is allot for a car but they hold value very very well. lmao i still want one

im taking out my passenger seat, battery is disconnected, going to unwire and take out the three amps, take out the 70+ lb box, then the platform so i can crimp 1 wire.

Almost as bad as those fegs that put those horns in their grills and roll down the street distorting the block....

Manual for sure. The paddle shifters are faster, but not as enjoyable.
