I expect so, at least here in Europe. There are transmissions in the Audi
stable that can handle this amount of power (see the S8), so I think
they'll sell it with a manual. Besides, I think they'll get a lot of heat
for not providing a manual option here in Europe.

As to the equipment decisions made by AoA... well, take the rational
approach, and AoA's policy will be the complete opposite. Best just to keep
your fingers crossed.
