I’m not the only one when it comes to sports cars. 55% of twin owners buy manuals. In this segment the business case for the manual makes absolute sense.

Yes PDK or MT is a personal choice, you have your preferences, others have theirs. Go to rennlist, this has been argued to death.
All I am saying is if you are an auto exec and you see that in a sports car segment only 55% are MT and the sports car segment is a couple percent compared to SUVs, crossovers and sedans. It’s an easy decision if you need to cut costs to cut the MT. I personally don’t see Subaru and Toyota doing it but things are changing and simplifying your supply chain goes a long way.
I also feel future EVs will have outstanding performance for a very cheap price. Although I think the engagement and fun will be diminished for sure.
