so whats the word?? i have an 07' manual....love/hate it. love it that its quick but in busy driving situations it sucks. this time around i think i am gonna get a automatic. Wife wants to drive the 11' also, so that will help.

also i heard that the manual trans is gonna be built in china!! as for the automatic, in good ole' Livonia,MI. here are my thoughts.....lets keep Detroit working! i think china has enough of "our" money! so just a thought.....lets order heavy on the auto's!! keep "our" country working!!

Personally, I hate autos. For me they totally ruin the driving experience of any type of sporty car. Fine in a minivan or a Buick maybe even a truck, but not a Stang.

But to each his own.

+1 to that! When I was about to buy my stang, I was stuck between auto/manual. I went with auto and love it. I live in NYC so the traffic, stop signs, pedestrians, traffic signals, etc. are HORRIBLE. If I lived in an area where I didn't have to stop every 30 frickin' seconds than I would probably go with a manual. Since the 2011 will benefit you and your wife go with the auto IMO. Good luck.

Ford has just started using their dual clutch "Power shift" transmissions, I wouldnt be surprised if they show up in the stang

i guess the message i was trying to pound out on this keyboard is ------------->CHINA<-------------
guess i am worried about my old stomping grounds......now they just look stomped......my dad is rolling over in his grave.....worked for chrysler for 40 some years....collected fords tho! his prize possession was a 56' T-Bird with 23K on the ticker......still had vaseline on the tires when his best friend bought it from the family.....anyways just my thoughts!

Yeah those threads tend to turn to schit but we'll see...


OP, test drive a 6 spd auto (any car) before you get all gun-ho.
There's a lot of shifting going on, unless you turn the overdrive off.
People complain about the 6 spd auto because of that.

I don't mind driving my manual tranny in the city(nyc). You get used to it. Auto sucks because I don't even feel like I'm driving the car.

My wife's Infiniti G37S has a 7 speed auto with paddle shifters; it's OK to drive but, I still enjoy working the gears on my own.
