Not totally convinced by this.
If true, then there would be nothing to stop the kit being released in England / Europe whatever.
Personally I think the delay is because they are still trying to resolve the SES problem with the auto transmission - one thing at a time ...

[quote=mawsdzDo you automatic guys think it's worth waiting for the automatic kit? Are you happy enough with the steptronic? If you could do it over again, would you get the manual?[/QUOTE]
I enjoy the laziness of the automatic. But I miss the extra torque of the JCW in GBMINI#2.
If I was ordering again now and knew the JCW was delayed indefinitely, I think I might have stayed with the manual to ensure availability of the JCW. But then I would be upset if the JCW-for-auto appeared right after my order went through!
