Oh and you know they will. How long do you think Porsche can/will go without a manual? Its not like they can't produce them. (R)

So the question is not if, its when... and rumor has it they're coming.
This whole automatic (oops) PDK/paddle shift craze, in my humble opinion, was Porsche pimping its new car market share.

How many new 991s, GT3 & RS' have they sold just because of they have an "auto" trans? I personally know of several women who've always thought a 911 was kinda cool, but had no desire to own a manual.. now they have a 99. I know several guys that have waaaaaaaay too much car for them in a GT3RS.. but hey, they got one because they could afford it and.. you guessed it, its an automatic/PDK.

That being said, I think we'll se manuals coming down the pike in the very near future and the current RS speculators better hold on to their shorts!
