Meh. I read the same article 6 years ago, and my dad said (at that time) that he read it 30 years ago. Every once in a while they dredge it up because the automotive press doesn't have anything else to write about. I still don't buy it, and I'll never buy a slushbox on either a truck or a sports car.

I had a hellava time finding a 5-speed equiped V6.
Wanted that combo bad enough that I settled for a red truck instead of white or green.

With a latte in one hand and cellphone in the other shifting gears becomes too complex
Though after 25 years driving stick I'm seriously considering auto next time, my left leg's getting worn out with all the shifting in rush hour traffic. |
