I tested the e-gear today, stick shift last week and am getting the car that was used by Motor magazine for their "performance car of the year" tests, next week for the day.
The 18 month wait times I was quoted on the Gallardo made me lose interest and I won't pay $15k over sticker for principal.

Yes
There are two black and one silver Gallardo's available for delivery now.
I found the manual change very notchy, which is why I am using the test car, which has 1500kms on it, to see if the shift has loosend up a little with use.The e-gear is ok, but I don't know what the fuss is about. Without the clutch, it is no different than driving the Benz in manual mode, so I would really like the manual to be OK. The only thing I have to go on from a sales perspective is the salesguy and I don't think his opinion can be trusted.

I love the 6 speed...I wish MB would at least offer us the choice.
