It's a bullshit diversionary lie.

I think this was why they said later in the article that all of those things the engineers would have been happy to work around, but it was the customer demand that really killed it. They said the hole was a negative, but not the reason they didn't do it.


When only 20% of corvette customers want a manual, I think we have the last of these things that will ever be mass produced in our brz/86s.
