No, thanks.

Damn am I sick of political spin (either direction) on Jalopnik. How about you asshats stick to talking about cars and be journalists? Autoblog waits three weeks to post stories, and now Jalopnik is only proselytizing not-so-subtly for the progressives or telling me how they broke the C7 Corvette. Where the hell am…

Less Gawker in my Jalopnik please.

I can't recall which site had the first renderings of this car. Can anyone help me with that?

The problem with your argument is that "most" enthusiasts can't afford to own or maintain a car with a legitimately good DCT / PDK / E-gear / F1 / whatever automated manual. I've never even had the chance to drive one. My take: flappy paddles = performance, third pedal = fun factor. YMMV.

Sometimes this site is a little too "Gawker."

There are four questions in one here...and you've answered them all together.
