The new GTS is powered by the same 4.0 flat six as in GT4.

I was dead set on getting another manual but now im older and needing a car with some cargo capacity looks like It wont happen. I do have my E36 M3 i still drive if i feel the need to use my left leg while driving.

BTW I think the decline of manual transmissions is related to smart phones. Its hard to use a Iphone while using a stick and most people would rather give up the stick than to put down the phone to drive.

I just think most people don't enjoy doing more work driving a car than they have to. How many people do you think will be happier to have self driving cars when they are both available and generally believed to be safe?

Yep, look left or right at an intersection when stopped. 100% this. All ages. All playing with their phone.

I keep saying this. All autos have done is make driving convenient enough to be distracted. Just think, with manual only there will be less cellphone related accidents. It also means little kids won't accidentally drive over their parents while learning since they'll stall. Those not physically fit to drive would take an Uber. Ultimately less time spent distracted more time driving. Maybe people will drive more smoothly to avoid stop and go traffic. Manuals could save us all.

How could you? You parked between those two “things” and so close...and there are bikes near by...

But thanks for your save the manuals effort!

This is not an issue if you are using CarPlay or Android Auto. Voice command eliminates the need to hold a phone.

Hate to see the manual go...

They still hold a phone.

Bought a manual f80 this weekend! Best decision I ever made. Anyone else stop completely on the highway to run through all 6? Glorious!

Mental distraction is just as dangerous
