For my stop and go here in the Chicago area, test driving the S6 as well as the M3 both made me wish for a manual or the 8 speed auto.
I see your point. You can almost eliminate that lag (from stop) by setting the throttle in Sport+ and MDM and S3/D3 (for rolling), but then it's jerky and not smooth for stop and go, since car wants to jump hard....
