Thanks for correcting me regarding 911 S. But the point still stands: there are multiple companies, including BMW, where you must unfairly pay the same regardless your transmission choice. This drives manual enthusiasts away, except the most dedicated ones. |
I get what you're saying, but I personally wouldn't expect a discount for going with a manual. What I don't want is to be charged extra for a manual, which some manufacturers have done in the past.
