The gang at CarDomain.com recently had the pleasure of breaking bread with Maximum Bob. They were relentless at getting an answer to the all important question….”What’s with the disappearance of the stick shift from modern cars?”
Mr. Lutz responded by reminding us that gone are the days where manual transmissions are more fuel efficient than automatics. So in order to meet the all-important average fleet MPG goals, the number of sticks needs to be reduced.
On to the good stuff…we’ll keep it short and sweet….Lutz confirmed that the G8 GT will have an optional Tremec six-speed for 2009.
Rejoice my friends….rejoice.
