I'd like to see more manual transmission options too, but I don't see that happening even then.

Government has their thumb on the scale, so to speak, with the ridiculous EPA testing procedure.

It's something like this: Start out in first, accelerate to 10 mph. Shift into second, accelerate to 20 mph. Shift into third, accelerate to 30 mph. Shift into fourth...

“It’s something like this: Start out in first, accelerate to 10 mph. Shift into second”

That leaves out the part when you’re stopped on a steep hill and there’s a car behind you.

I’ve heard that today’s automatic transmissions are more efficient than manual ones. Don’t some of them have 8 speeds?
