I don't think they are. And IMO, any enthusiast-oriented spec, regardless of the number of doors or configuration, should have a 6MT option. The last Audi I had was a 5.2L V10 S8 and to be fair, 3 pedals wouldn't have changed it a bit. It was what it was. Stick wouldn't have helped. My prior S6 Avant, on the other hand, would have benefited greatly from a factory 6MT but nooooo. Those guys were too stoopid to even build their RS6 sedan with a stick. The tiptronic is why I never even considered it. RS4 was last great car they built for sale here in U.S. Cancelled my RS5 order when they announced no stick. Same for me with Alfa.
