Is it odd that a fan of the 6-Speed manual is impressed with the 8-Speed Automatic? |

I was in London this summer riding a charter bus and noticed about 80% or higher that cars passing by had manual transmission during rush hour.
I saw many men and women in their bussiness suits rolling manual gears with their left hands. In contrast, I see many in US switching to auto due to rush hour traffic. |

The Germans and the rest of Europeans love their manual transmission cars. In fact, many view automatic transmissions as accommodations for individuals with some medical issues, e.g., bum knee.
