You read the first sentence of my post and stopped. The third sentence is the most important: I want to be able to select "no gear at all" whenever I want it.
Bragging that a new style automatic is actually a manual that you can't control shows that you've entirely missed the point of a manual. Yes, I prefer the less lossy connection of a box of gears, but what I really want is to control it. The direct connection at all times is a huge loss on its own- being able to disconnect is as important as being able to shift.
Neutral is my favorite gear. Zero is my favorite engine RPM, and the clutch is my favorite starter.
