I'll stay with the manual (similar reasons as Carlos), if they still offer one after a few years



Rest assured Grant, they will, there will always be a demand for it so they will always offer it, it will be easier to see a front engined 911 than a solely auto box 911 . Remember Europe is part of Porsche's and other manufacturer's market, and over here flicking a paddle is not involving or fun (for other yes, to each his own) but not having a manual is reason enough for not buying a sportcar and going to the competition, so they will all offer manuals, especially since its not that big of a deal to do so anyway. Only certain specific models may get solely a sequential gearbox with no manual gearbox such a special editions, etc. Also sequentials are much superior than slush-boxes in sportcars but when it stops being a novelty (it still is relatively recent for the sportcar mass market) a lot of drivers after finnally owning and getting used to the sequentials will return to the manual for its feel and involvement and sequentials will be left for replacing current slush-boxes in current sportcars IMO.
