A6 or M6
Seems like GM will be pushing 70 % auto with the response of the new paddle shifters. Personally, I like having a clutch but I'm in the minority. I wouldn't want to repair it after 3/36 though.

I drive in a pretty even mix of city and highway, with some traffic too (which can get really bad here on Long Island) and I wouldn't give up stick for the world. I like to be as involved in the driving experience as possible and I feel a manual tranny is the best way to do so. Also it's a whole lot more fun!! Just my $0.02.

This question is asked over and over again on this board. There is no good answer other than get what you want. The C6 is a great car either way. I have the A6 and love it. If you know that you will be unhappy not rowing, then get the M6.
