By 2016, Porsche has announced that they will be doing away with the Manual Gear Box. And you've seen this already in the Turbo S, 991 GT3, etc.

WHAT?! 
No!
This is a terrible, terrible idea.
I have a PDK, and I love it, but even I think this is an incredibly bad idea. Hubby has a manual and he loves it, and would never consider an automatic Porsche. It just doesn't seem like a racing company with no manuals. It's part of the heritage.
I think this will create a huge market for secondhand manual Porsches, though.
