In related news, Lexus also released a preview of the owner's manual to demonstrate the car's ease of operation...

On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.

Do you realize that in about 30 (updated as requested) years, we'll have millions of old ladies running around with tattoos?

Rrocket will tell you the auto is way better than the manual.
Maybe that's why there might not be one.

Will reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh but so far I think I like the sedan more.

The 8 speed is very good.

Lotus used a Toyota sourced auto in their last set of cars.  I've read it described as "broken chicken leg".  To handle the torque, it was sourced from a diesel van.

So ask yourself...a good 8 speed auto..or a manual sourced from a diesel van in your 450+ HP RC-F?
