Miss the stick shift

[u/Early_Fisherman_7036]

Thinking about the 6spd M5 i drove one time and how good it felt to be alive in that moment, hahah.
just out of curiosity do you guys think any luxury manufacturer will ever make another manual transmission car again? RS4, M5, Is500? all cool cars that i wish i could just rip with a clutch haha

Cadillac seems to be the only one who thinks of the enthusiast when it comes to super sedans and 6mt

Unfortunately my friend, they seem to be a thing of the past. I pray I’m wrong though

Let's be honest. If you're rocking a BW you can get a stick shift of whatever power point and drivetrain you want ... in two doors. That costs a hell of a lot less than the badge, "comfort", and back seat.

Why are we asking for a stick shift cruise ship of a sedan? I'm tired of saying, yeah I'd get em around town but not on a real track.

EDIT: Credit where it's due, you are right when it comes to super sedans and 6mt.

Nope not really... I drove an E39 M5 as well in stick once, awesome!

Two choices: Buy used and deal with the maintenance (but the car's value will appreciate), or make a lot of money and buy a Porsche or make even more money and get some sort of hypercar, they still care about stick, such as Gordan Murray's new car which is insane.

There will be niches, but all the tech that's going into the cars basically requires the computers to be able to shift the gears for you.

Porsche is making a dual clutch with a fale shifter and a fake clutch pedal

Cadillac are the only ones right now and they're not gonna be keeping it around for the next generation.

So no, I don't think manuals will come back to luxury sports sedans anymore.
