So cliff notes on this thread...
1. 8 speed trans which nobody has driven in real world conditions and has just been read about is super awesome and will be an epic upgrade.
2. Might as well keep 6 speed '15 because 8 speed trans which nobody has driven in real world conditions and has just been read about is probably going to be a POS.
3. Drive 6 speed trans equipped vehicle off cliff cuz it'll be rendered useless upon release of 8 speed kinda like Y2K.
4. Buying a new '15 Denali and selling a couple months later is only profitable if you're a dealer
5. Don't rag on the Mercedes Benz 6 speed unless YOU are a professional driver because there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with a Mercedes Benz.....ever!
6. Africa needs your money and apparently needs to be free
7. We all love forums and the mish mash of personalities with which it attracts
