What Auto only cars would you like offered as a Manual?

My BMW beard is twitching... pretty sure the CS was exclusively a manual. It was the CSL that was auto (SMG?) only.

I remember at the time it seemed my favourite of the range - an M3+ if you like. I seriously looked into one a few years back but caught the caterham bug instead.

You could get the CS with SMG.

Sorry, did i post something that you didn't agree with?

Or maybe, you can't really argue my point?

You don't get it if you think how good or bad an auto is has anything to do with wanting a manual.

Yup, you're right. I've shaved the beard off

and how much more time to make the perfect driverless cars if they didn't need to bother with the driver at all.

This is why tesla have been able to make so much progress in a short space of time, they have not had the legacy problem of having to pander to a few hundred grumpy old British men's pointless whims about what makes a car a drivers car.

I may well be grumpy, but I'm not old and my enjoyment of a manual gearbox is most certainly not pointless.

Just because you don't like it doesn't make you opinion any more valid that mine.

Enjoy that self driving Tesla when it comes.

Smart Roadster, I really loved those things but could never own one due to the most dimwitted auto box ever installed in a car!
