Sorry to break it to you but thats the way its going. A lot of highline sports cars are going Fi sequential transmission with paddle shifters. There is a reason you dont see many F1/CART/INDY race cars with a stick...because there is something better, though more expensive
As soon as Porsche offers a SMG/DSG(sequential clutch peddless) F1 treansmission, I'm taking it over a stick any day. Paddle shifters will shift faster than any pro driven stick. An F1 boxster will be faster than your stick boxter.
I also assume the guy got an auto for the bumper to bumper traffic on the 101 or 110. Not everyone likes being in first gear for HOURS...
