And don't you dare to link to some blog to try to say "but look it says it here"
Harsh words buddy. Just a conversation piece, im not officially claiming anything just telling you what my subarunet tells me.

Does anybody even make a MT true hybrid? The way they work just doesn't lend itself to manual shifting.

Well all hybrids will have the cvt tranny in them so the best you can get with that is paddle shifters. Honda has that dumb CR-Z or someshit thats a "sports hybrid" with manual shifter but thats the closest i know of.

In the olden days of this forum, when rumours were the site's lifeblood, I would bet that 75% of the exciting 'latest blog info/rumour' threads could be actually traced back to our own posts.

I found more than a couple of my own stats comparos and spec guesstimates referenced without credit on other sites/blogs.

Ah, the good old days...

I like it...

Loved the old SVX...
