The final summary from the first drive review of the 991 GT3 in Car magazine...
Porsche 911 GT3 (2013) CAR review
"While the winged wonder from Weissach may have lost some of its rough edges, it has at the same time acquired important new qualities. Like a supreme sense of balance, a higher level of tactility, more potent and more progressive action, a creamier behaviour at the limit of adhesion as well as amazingly articulated feedback."
"The message to hardliners is don’t worry, all the trademark GT3 entertainment values are still there, standing proud and tall. Some buyers will never be convinced, however, and for them there's still hope: the upcoming 911 GT3 RS is rumoured to be as blunt a weapon as the diehards could ever wish for, and the engineers haven't yet ruled out an optional manual gearshift..."

Never say never. BMW also tried the auto-only route with the M5 and we all know how that ended. There's no way Porsche would ever let slip a manual was in the works given what they've got on the line with this launch.
