I've never understood quite why, but 'Murica seems to be obsessed with AT's, but the rest of the world is quite happy with MT's.
I remember walking down a German street with a buddy about five years back-- MT, MT, MT, MT, MT, AT on all of the cars parked on the street.
Maybe that's why they get the "cool" and we get overbloated SUV's? |
That's all changed from when I worked there. Once F1 drivers gave up the third pedal, all the mini Fangios converted to flappy paddles. Take rates on manuals are higher in the US than in the EU.
