Unfortunately, in the next 2 car generations, a manual transmission will be viewed by ALL auto co. bean counters as:

- poorer 0-60 performance
- poorer fuel economy
- increasingly cumbersome to keep on hand for 5% of vehicles (storage, placement, testing etc...)

Nobody can argue with these points except the last few holdouts who really feel the connection to their vehicle is more important than the pragmatic points above.

The pleasure of rowing thru the gears may eventually be gone!

Isn't technology great?
