if Honda offered a SMG transmission, like the 3rd gen 7speed unit found in the BMW V10 M5, would you pay ~$2k for it??

btw i heard that contrary to original plans, BMW WILL offer manual tranny for the new M5..

If it was a good SMG system, and they reduced the weight to compensate for the transmission, such that the end result was better performance...I'd consider it.

I would go with the SMG if it came with a clutch for downshifting,

no way. It would destroy the car. Although I am kind of surprised Honda didn't add an automatic transmission option when they softened it.
