Probably also doesn't help that the manual in the F-Type had a long throw according to the article and wasn't that great.

There is demand, but apparently the bean counters think the demand isn’t worth the effort. This is why the C8 has no manual option. Sometimes they don’t know demand exists like Porsche with the 911R...

It is much higher than that, or at least, I have read it is around 15% of new vehicle sales, but I don't know what that represents, or rather, I don't know how broad that number represents....

Agreed. I wouldn’t want to buy a manual either if I only could use 2nd and 3rd with 4-6th as overdrive gears, and that is in a Cayman. The 911’s have seven gears. I’m not surprised the GT3 with a...
