Re: OMG... XR6 (Non turbo) vs Celica ST162	Mon, 25 October 2004 05:28

Actually, the car company I work for ummed and aaahhed about developing a manual for it's latest 6-cylinder, citing "limited sales payback" on the cost to develop the 'box. This is partly because the new 6cyl-automatic is totally ace (for an auto), and most of the Manuals sold are plugged into the back of V8's. It simply didn't make economic sense to develop the manual. Fortunately, engineering had a win over accounting, and marketing decided to sell the new V6 "sports" model as the "Hero car" of the range. Oh, I'm 25, and the theory ain't ghey. It's happening right now. Mercedes now confine manuals to about 20% of their range, Ford + Holden have made their AWD ranges auto-only, Aston Martin's DB9 is auto-only for the first 9-12 months of production, and they've hinted strongly that they won't be doing a manual for its replacement. The disease is spreading, and can only be stopped by more people buying Manuals off the showroom floor. Believe it riceburna. [Report message to a moderator]
