Honestly, why not just make the manual an order-only option?

Yes I understand it costs about ~$1 million for US emissions testing (according to Audi when trying to justify no manual A3/S3), but at this point BMW would have the ENTIRE manual luxury market to themselves if they offered it and they wouldn’t have dealers…

Lol dude he is palming the cards into his right hand and then drops them all in his lap, they aren’t going into the table.

Well we know it doesn’t have a stick

I had to scroll alllll the way down here to see someone else mention it.

Alone in the Dark should far and away have the top spot.

Where is Alone in the Dark 1?

Wow didn’t anyone watch this episode of Top Gear???

Audi A4/A5. At least up until this year.

You missed my point entirely - why should people with low scores who have actively chosen not to demonstrate an ability to follow well established borrowing rules (by obtaining any credit) get a score bump?

Hilarious, I was looking at this exact car yesterday trying to figure out of they made the 958 GTS in manual (wife drives a 958 V6 6MT currently). Answer, of course, was nope. And boy those 957s look DATED!

Is it *officially* dead? Thought we wouldn’t find out until Paris.

The fact that even BMW didn't put a stick in this car worries me. They still offer them in 2, 3, and 4 series. Puzzling they wouldn’t make it an option on the 2 seat impractical roadster of all things.

My Eyes! The Goggles Do Nothing!

You forgot the part where he is riding a fake Ducati while carrying a fake Diaz.

As shown above under a random Explorer that I slid under in Kentucky (yes, I risked being shot to take these pictures)

My wife says we have so many cars and trucks that it is currently not beautiful.

You’re dead to me, Audi. You’re even more dead to me than your dead mother.

I am a vocal manual enthusiast. I ordered my ‘14 A5 S-line competition 6MT (was told I got the first one in the USA) CTO new from the factory in July of 2013. My avatar pic was from the day I drove it home.

I read that linked article and got to this sentence and spit out my coke zero
