That's fine, it fits well with the dull and efficient image they've been cultivating over the last few years

Interesting stuff will still come with the option of a manual box for a good few years.

Give over - what's 'interesting' amongst the kind of cars the average person buys?

When I take wife's (auto) Tiguan for service I always ask for an auto courtesy car - but only becuase the first time I didn't, they gave me an Up!. I don't mind little cars, but it was horrid. Last time I got a DSG Polo - it went well and drove nicely, no hesitation or lag etc.

It was just a childish little comment implying VW's are a little dull

Nothing wrong with an auto, my wife has just picked up a Clubman with an auto box. Nice to drive, but not as engaging as a manual. Which is perfectly fine for 99% of the population 99% of the time.

However, the original point was that although auto's are becoming the norm now, manuals will still be around for the foreseeable future.
