Eaxactly. As long as it rides and handles well, you could tell people the rear wheels attached to the chassis with chicken wire and they won't care. More people, on the other hand, understand more gears is better, so I think GM will offer the 6-spd AT, at least on the upper end. As the 4-spd. gets further phased out, any cost saving from using that tranny is probably becoming negligable. Or maybe that's why they went with the torsion beam: reduce cost so you can afford to spend more on the tranny, which more people will care about.
