If you don't think this is the peak of automotive design, you may like boy bands and male vampires.

Amazing vehicle in every aspect.
However...
I will never understand people's fascination with the carbon fiber look. CF is a great material, and I understand using it from a weight savings and strength perspective. But the look is just something I can't get into.
And I prefer Bach to boy bands.

That's cute, you think the Veyron is the peak of automotive design.
Here is the transmission:
Transmission(s) 7-speed DSG sequential
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-Shift_Gearbox
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-au...c_transmission
Sorry, I hate hypocrisy (not the band).

Clutchless manuals are for old, lazy F1 wannabe's. It is sad the GTR isn't offered with a proper manual transmission the kind with a clutch pedal. Many companies including Buggati and Ferrari have gone to gimmicks to coddle their owners and make them feel like the racing legends - they are not. Everyone looks like a bad *** with launch control and a F1 style transmission. The next big thing for cars will be a button to have a track plotted by GPS and let the cars computer accelerate, brake and turn for you, I hope the lameness will stop. However, I know the masses are lazy and talentless with little desire to attain a skill, this doesn't bode well for the manual transmission and clutch pedal set.
Most of their customers would kill themselves if they had to drive a manual. You are completely correct though about not being able to shift as fast as a machine. Here is an analogy: driving a manual is like (you) banging a hot chic, driving an automatic is like watching some other dude bang her for you. Moral of the story: some of us prefer doing our own banging, not have it done for us.

I still feel the Veyron should be offered a manual transmission. The creating of the Veyron is what is astounding, it's built to aerospace standards. Not being a hypocrite, dim wits. Try again.

Peak of automotive design = "gimmicky", "for old, lazy F1 wannabe's"
How is that not contradictory? Further, given your previous bashing, how is that not hypocrisy?

The Veyron is far more then just a transmission. The car as a whole is an engineering marvel, try Googling Bugatti Veyron and watch the Nat. Geo. special that goes through the building process of the vehicle. I think anyone would appreciate the effort that goes into the creation of the vehicle.

So if you don't like the transmission you can't like the design of a car? Well that sucks. Guess that means I don't like Enzo Ferraris anymore since they don't have an m6 from the factory.

That car is so sexy. I wouldn't care if it was as locked down as the jeeps in Jurassic Park.
It is obvious that the transmission is far superior to what is in our cars and if the price wasn't a concern I am sure almost all cars would have them.
STILL REALLY REALLY WANT!!!
