You sir, win the internet

I don't think this is accurate, some engines are more efficient at burning gas than others. Even if both engines produce 200hp, they don't have to necessarily consume the same amount of gasoline to produce them.

Because bigger engines have heavier pistons/rods/etc, they'll require more gas to even move those components…

If you want to be a gentleman, buy an Aston Martin. If you want to show off, buy a Ferrari. If you love tech, buy a McLaren. If you want to tell the world you need a straight jacket, go buy a Lamborghini. And if you buy a Lamborghini, get the best one you can. That's this, the Gallardo LP550-2.

But I did have three issues. First, and this is just a personal thing, seven gears are too many gears for a manual. Getting off the highway and doing about 25 downshifts (give or take eight), is hard to get used to and I think it's overkill. There are seven for efficiency, and we should be thankful that they're still…

This guy always sounds like Billy Mays

A huge improvement. Still, too much overhang in the back...

All you're saying is true. I don't think anyone is (at least I'm not) saying Porsche and other manufacturers are dumb. It just doesn't take away the sadness of the collective move out of manual. I wish they would've kept their quest for performance to the GT3 RS and given the GT3 at least a manual ($25,000) option.

For a good percentage of enthusiasts, PDK doesn't outperform the manual in the FUN category.

You're comparing driving to washing clothes????? You're in the wrong blog here...

totally happened to me too....WTF BRAIN?
