Automatic Manual Transmissions vs Manual Transmissions

I used to drive a 2012 Cascadia with a 10-speed manual until my company retired it and put me in a 2015 Volvo with a 12 speed I-Shift automatic. While the Cascadia was fun to drive I do appreciate the more torque & acceleration the Volvo has, especially under heavy load. I wish I could've driven one of the 10-speed Volvos before my company retired them all.
