From what I have been hearing, the transmission is pretty much on par with Volkswagen's DSG transmission, which is pretty bad arse. Supposed to be extremely fast, hard, and precise shifting, not like a normal, slushbox auto.

But, I do believe there will be an actual manual transmission later on. Well, I hope so at least.

Chances are they will be using a magnetic tranfer case like the g35x, which is mated to the auto transmission..

I must say, I am thoroughly disappointed. The front end is much much less aggressive than previous photos. The interior is extremely bland. And not to worry, many previous articles have reported a standard stick as optional.

After careful consideration, I'm gonna have to say....I like it. I'd rather see it in gloss medium blue, and I'm betting that the autostick is one of the several configs which have been speculated over the course of the last few weeks.

If I were to magically have $100,000 dropped in my lap, I'd happily pay the $65K for this vehicle. The other $35K, of course, would be used for more practical puposes.
