If you're going to go with an automatic, go with a conventional torque-converter-driven one like the allison 4500. These air-actuated "automated manuals" sap all the air away from your brakes and leave you sitting there like an idiot waiting for air to build up. The thing will not allow you to go back into gear unless the tank has >90 psi, and each shift from D to R or vice versa uses 5-8 lbs of air. It's fine if you're doing highway only driving, but try to actually make this transmission do real work, and its flaws become very apparent.
