This thread started back in 2007. Back then M/T was king of practicality. But fast forward to today, it is near retirement. Engines today are way more high tech and fuel efficient compared to back then. So M/T can be retired without being sorely missed. Haha.

(And who knows, if future cars become all electric, then there will no longer be transmissions to talk about)
True sir, let's see when electric cars will become the norm. Must be really fun to drive one. No noise,no delays,fast acceleration.hope it doesn't explode [emoji13]
