I bet the Ferrari, Porsche and Maserati drivers all felt the same way when they found out that a slush box was going to be an option for their brands.

I think we've seen that the market tells manufacturers what to in order to survive, and a suitable (non-CVT) auto box has to be on the drawing board. Especially when the new more powerful engines arrive in 2007.
