What a thing to be famous for - the home of the limp wristed shifters.
Oh well, at least some of us know the joys of shifting a manual.

If it's not a manual, it's not a true sports car. Part of the joy in driving is shifting when YOU want to, not when the car thinks it's best.

I understand the sentiment, but personally I'd take some comfort if there was an auto option, well clutchless manual anyway. I may need one soon...

It would be relaxing and economical if mated to a good turbodiesel....
