Honestly, most people complain there aren't any manuals on the market. Granted, overall take rate is like 6%.

the huge majority will go faster in a slick shifting 6,7 or 8 speed auto especially off the line ...
and its very difficult to correctly and consistently row a 6 speed (manual) in a car with lots of power again especially off the line but the most important thing is i dont wanna shift in traffic as a daily driver |

I totally get it, makes perfect sense, I just can't stand auto. Will buy manual as long as they make them, or until I physically can't drive manual anymore (which I hope never happens).

Google and others are working hard to make sure you won't be controlling the transmission, or anything else, by then. I see two or three of their autonomous test cars every morning, cruising the Tempe streets. |

I'm fine if they offer automatic versions, too, so long as they also offer manual. FYI, the Fiat 500 Abarth, Hyundai Veloster Turbo, and MINI Cooper S both do offer automatic variants. The Fiesta ST, however, does not. It's too bad more companies aren't tarting up their b-segment hatchbacks. I know from a sales perspective it doesn't make much money, however. But I'd love to see a Chevy Sonic SS (Z18?), a Nissan Versa Note SE-R, a Hodna Fit Si, and a Kia Rio Turbo.

No way is the GRMN coming to the USA. I would feel like a clown or a teenager driving the GRMN, without changing out the cheesy, oversized rally rear spoiler for a regular one, and removing all those overdone race/rally graphic touches though.
