Can't believe they're not offering a standard transmission. Takes all of the joy out of driving.
Exactly, I've driven flappy paddle Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and a McClaren. They just are not as exciting as a manual. Feels like you're playing a video game. I lose all interest in any sports car that discontinues their manual transmission option. If they want to offer an automatic I have no problem with that, but a manual should continue to be an option.
The Camaro is being discontinued, the SS sedan is gone, and the CTS-V has lost it's manual option. Now that the manual corvette is being discontinued, every Chevy V8 going forward will be paired to an automatic transmission. That is a very depressing thought. No more stick shift ls/lt cars. If you want a stick shift V8 chevy in the future it will have to be an old car.
