The only thing I can reason as to why it is so bad (better after an update, but still not great from what I can tell) is b/c of the tune. It must be tuned in such a way to squeak out MPG, they aren't willing to give up that extra little big of MPG for a better tune.
I'm fairly certain the 6 speed auto is the same transmission used in the 5th gen V6, and others. In these other applications, (especially the Camaro) the A6 was a great transmission. I really enjoyed it in my 5th gen V6. Never a hiccup. It was also pretty stout.
Hopefully they don't tune the 8 speed with the same gremlins. I have more confidence that they won't.
