>I can't drive manual
There OP, was that so hard?

>High-performance engines that develop 400 hp or more have too much torque for the gearbox suppliers of preference to handle. American companies have manual transmissions that work, but European automakers say they’re clunky and stiff.

So this is written by a triggered yuropoor with a 1 liter 3 cylinder cuckbox who can't handle a real car. Got it.

>>17143530
t. poorfag who can't afford the superior automatic option

>>17143534
I'd rather have a manual car than no car

>>17143513
>>We are now seeing automatic transmissions with nine and even 10 speeds, so there’s a lot of technology in modern automatics
>more gears means more technology

>>17143524
Thanks senpai

>>17143533
Seriously, the fucking T56 exists.

>>17143554
yuro manufacturers are too pretentious to use American tech, even when it's superior

>>17143513
Kek bmw confirmed can make a good manual transmission

>>17143513
If you have to change gears with paddles it's still a manual way to change, unlike the gearboxes that change based on speed/load, so in the end you still need to be the one changing the gear and not become a retard thinking of other things than driving.

>>17143591
Read the article, dipshit. DCTs are going the way of the dodo as well, since the only advantage they had over automatics was the shift time, but that advantage is gone with modern autos.

>>17143614
I don't want to read clickbait even if it's the archived version.

I already know that everything is turning to shit, video games turn to shit, politics turn to shit, the uprising of caving to the worst and least deserving factor(the opposite of darwin's law).

I just try to not wanting to accept it because just giving in to it is what they want and I rather go against it to the very end than to embrace retardation.

south american here

we will have new manual cars being produced till we all fucking die, automatics are expensive here

First worlders BTFO

manual is better, cucks

It feels like a video game article saying deal with nerds 30 fps is great

>>17143534
In the United States the price on an automatic is negligible considering that is the default configuration on most cars on lots here.

So what if I want a 5-6 speed on a 4 cyl shitbox?

>>17143513
>10-speed
>12-speed
>18-speed
>Infinite-speed
it's like bicycle manfacturers in 90s

this CAFE bullshit needs stop really soon

>>17144519
Soon we'll all be driving CVTs on steroids, or pure EVs which have no transmission anyway.

>>17144524
I'd rather kill myself.

When will someone make a two speed ev?

I'm not even a manualfag tho but this article is written either as a bait or by a fat nerd who doesn't even know how to drive.

>>17143534
Auto/manual doesn't even change the price on a lot of cars now, and in the used market, manual transmissions actually raise the price on enthusiast cars.

>>17143513
Who is perpetuating this automatic meme, this flavor of the month is salty shit

What a bunch of shit

>Automatic transmissions shift faster, transmit more energy to the driveshaft, and have as many as 10 forward gears.
I recently drove a 2017 Lexus IS with an auto 8 speed transmission. It did not shift taste than my manual 6 on my pleb series BMW.

As far as transmitting more energy to the drive shaft, I have no idea what the fuck this retard thinks. Once the clutch is engaged a manual is able to handle more power than a regular torque converter trans or CVT

>A generation of drivers grew up without access to manual gearbox cars and aren’t inclined to learn as adults.

Agree, I did not have access to a manual but I'm onto cars and learned on one as an adult and I'm glad I did.

>Double-clutch transmissions weaned enthusiasts away from cars with clutch pedals. The DCT is a mechanical gearbox with clutches, but the gearbox itself engages and disengages the clutch.

Double clutch is horrible for stop and go traffic, the technology just hasn't been perfected. I laugh when these cars studder and roll back on hills.

>High-performance engines that develop 400 hp or more have too much torque for the gearbox suppliers of preference to handle. American companies have manual transmissions that work, but European automakers say they’re clunky and stiff.

Most cars don't produce 400 hp, the average beater only puts out around 150hp. That's like saying we'll be getting rid of the dozen egg box cause there are people who buy the 24 or 30 boxes. Stupid

>>17144593
This, every manual used BMW on the market commands a higher price than its auto sibling.

you special order it

or search high and low for a car configured the way you want with manual and then lowball their shit in by complaining its a manual trans.

thats how i got stuck with chebby sanic because all the other standard cars in my city were clapped out shitters or didnt have features i wanted

the manual is outdated garbage that serves no place in the modern car

there is no real argument for it

Looking at the replies on this article looks like the "author" of this thing is all alone which is reassuring. Just a fucking nerd frustrated that his rad 1080TI doesn't make bitches wet unlike Chad with his sportscar.

>>17144734
like I said

no real argument

>>17144736
Sure there's no real argument for them that's why they are disappearing. Won't stop me from liking them more than autos.

seems like a good argument to me

and i get to tell me self im superior to the other casuals

>>17144736
So you're actually a fucktard.

>Better real world mpgs
>Better longevity
>Actual control of what the car is doing especially in an emergency or if there is a failure
>Requires actual driving concentration (I bet you'd see a lot less dumb cunts texting and crashing if they had to drive manual)
>Less chance of having your car stolen by a nigger

>>17144768
all them 0 sources and your own made up beliefs you have to justify being inferior

>>17143554
Also the Tremec 6060

Can handle the 600+ torque of the Viper and Camaro ZL1 no problem and feel better than any Euro shifter.

>>17144736
>no real argument
>the manual is outdated garbage that serves no place in the modern car

Great argument bro! Upvoted!

Why don't they make guitars that play themselves, or robots that can paint paintings?

>>17144819
Driving is not an art or even a source of enjoyment.
It's a chore.

kek

>>17144819
they have both of those

those are hobbies though so people generally like those

driving is a draining chore for most

>>17144768
We get it. You can't afford an automatic. It's okay, I understand.

>>17144524
Three-on-the-tree electric cars when?

>>17144829
then take the bus

>>17144829
If you can't get enjoyment out of driving then public transport, uber, whatever you normies like.

By an autistic German that gets triggered when his shifter makes a "schnick" noise.

>>17145359
there is no enjoyment in commuting

if you want enjoyment buy a race car

>>17144720
Lighter, simpler, funner, cheaper, can handle and transmit more power, easier to repair (in theory, the gearbox on a motorcycle is easier than some microoptimized german 6 speed)
