Yes, until the AMG comes out with a manual gearbox and are willing to give up some of that autobahn cruising comfort in their cars, magazines like EVO will always find that there is "something missing" when pushing at the limits.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again: this is a bit irrelevant because these cars will rarely ever be put to their handling limits on everyday roads. Even on a track, most drivers aren't skilled enough to take these cars to the limits safely.
