The guys on the r8 board are not looking forward to the all new 2016 model because apparently there will be no manual offered. This is completely to the contrary here where many (but not all) of us are looking forward to the Z's auto-box. Granted the manual in the r8 is gated (which I personally prefer over non gated). I do not believe the tranny in the new R8 will be of the dual clutch breed. Hmmm.
