We aren't talking luxury here like the germans, just a hopped up motor in a day to day car.
No, and that is my thought process here. people saying no stick in this car is a deal breaker, as if otherwise they’d buy this car. But how many comparable cars offer manuals? what I am seeing here is slim to none. I just don’t see a small car or a 2 door as the typical comparable. I don’t think the regal shopper is the same as the SS shopper, and I’d really be hard pressed to think the gear box is a primary decision point between the two. I’m sure there are a very few folks out there, I mean more in general.

So I don’t see no stick in the SS being a failure in the big picture. So I am probably siding with GayAl in all this.


aside: you mentioned the cruze, lol @ that. I have a cruze ltz. there is no way that car is comparable to a G8 in any driving sense.
