Now think about the next generation of kids who are growing up .. as PDK and such technology becomes prevalent in the affordable used cars market .. the manual shift transmission will be looked at as a tool of the dinosaurs .. its sadly the only logical outcome.
Why would a younger newer driver go buy a manual shift car .. then spend a bunch of time / money / learning to drive a manual shift car .. then probably still lose in a race to his friend who probably just got a license but drives a PDK car that cost 'almost the same'. He's gonna look like the biggest idiot in the world to all his friends. Most teen ego's can't handle that, so most will stay away from the 'hassle' of an manual gear box.
Eventually no demand will result in manufacturers no longer wanting to supply, and the manual gear box WILL become a tool of the 'dinosaurs'. We'll be the ones telling stories about the good ol days where a man had to learn to master his tools.
F'it .. this makes me sad .. I'm swapping back out to non ABS brakes this weekend .. LOL
