[s-cars] '03 //S8 and '02 //S6

[Taka Mizutani]

Tiptronic sucks. S8s deserve a 6-speed manual. All those people whining
about how difficult it is to drive a manual transmission car in heavy
traffic need to have a reality check. Try driving a 6-speed manual
heavy-duty diesel truck with a worn clutch and a HEAVY clutch pedal, crappy
linkage and a 50lb. flywheel, that is warranted. Otherwise......

As far as I can tell, MBZ sets the standard, currently, for how an automatic
should function. However, I have not driven the current LS 460 with 8-speed.
