That being said I'm not interested in an underwhelming, overly electronic 2020 Supra with a shitty automatic gearbox either.
Statistics don't make cars better or worse; the experience of driving them does. Engagement does for many of us. Cars of today may be technically superior but far less engaging...significantly less engaging. When i speak about my aspirational cars from the 60s and 70s i'm talking about cars so engaging there is nothing available in current times with that level of engagement such as the Alpine A110 1600s, Simca Rallye 3, Alfa Romeo GTA, Lancia Fulvia HF, BMW 2002 Turbo....

The 8HP ZF may not be a manual but its far from shitty...
Anyway, the last car with a manual will most likely be the Miata. Should be an extremely hot seller in about 10 years. lol
