1 week. Then GM says, 'See, nobody wants a manual!'
I am one of those people that just don’t go past a phase
Then buy one to make sure the stick lives on!
Sounds like a beast! I can't wait until the CT4 and 5 V Blackwings are released. I expect them to be amazing based on how good the regular V versions of these two cars are.
Hell no, the Auto is way too good. Manual would be a hindrance.Then buy one to make sure the stick lives on!
The problem is that everyone wants somebody else to buy it.
Hahahaa! Yes - the 10 speed is incredible and another stake in the heart of manual transmissions. I'm part of "the problem" I thought about getting a stick in my ATS, but the thought of a stick and the huge amount of traffic in my commute at the time quickly killed that thought. Now, GM's automatic is so good the thought wouldn't enter my mind, the 10 speed is fantastic. Almost invisible in normal driving and it feels so good when you floor it, feeling it snap through the gears!
You betrayed your fellow man to the 10 speed when they needed you most. This is the last stand of the manual, and you went to the dark side...
True. With some things it still lingers in me even if I have moved on in life. Thought it sounded alright considering the quality
of the computer speaker.
In some instances yes the automatic will out perform a manual just because it doesn't have to deal with the "foibles" of the driver.
The Small block start up in its performance mode, always makes one feel alive. There is nothing like it.. the roar.. is like bwoy..True. With some things it still lingers in me even if I have moved on in life. Thought it sounded alright considering the quality
I abandoned the manual transmission long ago... But I love the rare opportunities to drive one. But the 10 speed takes any lingering doubts away that I made the right choice. I expect my next car to be electric, so zero chance of getting a stick on that!
The problem is they don’t offer sticks in enough cars or in cars most people can afford.Then buy one to make sure the stick lives on!

Basically no one wants a manual any more, except for a few muscle or performance cars. They sit on the lots for months and get blown out at huge discounts on anything else. You really think the dealers don't know what sells?The problem is they don’t offer sticks in enough cars or in cars most people can afford.
Offer a stick on the CT4 or CT5 with all the engines, 4 cylinder and V6, under $50k, and actually BUILD them and stock them at dealers, and watch how many would sell.
The manual isn’t dead because people don’t want them. It’s dead because manufacturers only offer them in limited production, expensive cars, and don’t promote them, then yell “see? No one wants one!”
There is a little church lady that gifted me a base corolla with a manual transmission a while back. I ended up giving it away to some needy teenagers. Bwoy oh bwoy. with those skinny tires, that car was an absolute blast.. rowing.. on the freeway.. there is just so much happening.. I am always so tempted to go and buy a Honda Prelude Si from the late 80's and 90's..
