Like some of you other relics on the board, for me part of the fun of driving a roadster is "rowing the gears", as some one here nicely described it. I think I heard on a car show or read it somewhere that Porsche is really pushing the 911s to have pdk. It is probably only a matter of time before manual transmissions of the antique type, with a clutch that requires a foot, will no longer be made. I for one hope that never happens, but progress is progress. (I got rid of my Olivetti last year . So, Porsche, if you want to see a nice increase in Boxster sales, please let us know a year in advance when traditional manual trannys will NOT be offered. My guess is that the last year of the old style manual, if known in advance, will bring some buyers out of the woodwork.
Problem is sales of manual equipped cars is way down. While many lament the passing... MarcW - Friday, 2 March, 2012, at 8:04:48 pm |
