Now you know comparing automatic tranny with manual is comparing apples and oranges. Let's stick to the base 5 speed vs. S 6 speed, OK?
If you think the base would drive better if it had the 6 speed, how do you explain this comment from Excellence magazine from a few years ago comparing the 2.7L vs. S:

I'm seeing a pattern here, authorative unbiased sources like Excellence magazine, Porsche experts like CFG, they're all wrong. The Lux is right.
Um....I think the Lux is wrong. I'll believe the experts and unbiased authorative sources.
P.S. Excellence magazine also said in the same article the base was a better buy than the S. Sorry you wasted money on the S.
