I think it has more to do with the fact that the car is enormously powerful (450hp, CL500 with a supercharger added on) and it is a seven speed. With that much power on tap and running through the gears that quickly, it's a bit intimidating.
I did rent a Mitsu Spyder for a month back in 2000 that had the auto stick thing, I tried it one weekend when I was running around, it took a bit for me to adjust myself to the fact that you can keep the gas floored instead of trying to match the revs.
Plus, would an automatic last me to 300k miles as well as a manual would?
2006 9-3 SportCombi Aero 300 miles
2005 CL500 17k miles
1994 900SE 2.0 turbo coupe 291k miles (in process of selling)
