MARKETING
thats it...because nissan is sending 1500 GTRs here in the first year in ALL automatic transmissions...that means EVERYONE can buy one...not just people who are able to drive a manual gearbox
personally i think it stupid of nissan to do this...as a consumer they completely lost me as a potential buyer (not that i have the money to buy a GTR...im speaking in a hypothetical manor)...i wouldnt want one simply because i cant the car in 5/6 speed manual tranny...BUT...people like me are VERY few and far between now...especially with people who have the money for such an investment.
point is...nissan KNOWS it can market its super car with an auto tranny because EVERYONE can drive it and it neglects a MINOR market share who perfer manual transmissions over automatic
nissan DOES infact have a 6 speed tranny GTR ready...it has been photographed and has been driven by a select few jouranlists on the web

1. Nissan is having no problem selling the GTR's with the semi auto.
2. Already major test drivers have complimented this transmission.
3. Your own personal preferences blind you to the beauty of technology.
4. You will probably come back with some wise ass remark showing your lack of understanding and a attempt at a personal put down for my response to your post.
5. Nissan is planning on releasing a 6 speed trans version in the future for hards like.
6. Can you even afford to purchase this car to begin with?
7. Fact is the car is supposed to be the pinnacle of technology.
8. A double clutch paddle shifting trans is the pinnacle of technoloy in transmissions
9. Nissan has not made a mistake,they have waiting lists for the cars.
10. your post is pure speculation on your part based on your beliefs.
Have a nice day.
