In Europe, cars with auto trans cost at least $1000 more.

The small cars popular in Europe, VW Golf and the tiny Peugeot 208 and clones lend themselves to manuals with their small engines.

—”Interesting that it’s still 80% in Europe.”

The price of gas is crazy in the EU; better MPG with a stick.

Some of my wife’s kin from Norway visited driving a huge Lincoln, a special deal from the rental agency!

No crackerjack box for them.

Asking about the gas? They said GAS IS CHEAP IN AMERICA!!!

The proceeded to compare the price...

Tiy cars and fuel economy drive that no doubt. Automatics take a big chunk out of performance and mileage.
