...their other automobiles. BMW is following suit. I think the only BMWs you can buy with a manual are the smaller M-cars (M2, M3, M4). Honda puts manuals in their Si and RS Civics, but nothing else. If you want fun cars with manual transmissions in the future, look to Toyota's Gazoo Racing badged cars. They're coming out with some new ones that will be absolute screams to drive. Toyota and BMW are switching places in the fun car market.

I think the smartest choices today are the high performance sedans -- EDGEMAN Apr 17, 2025 at 10:36 AM ET

Do they make a 911 with anything but a manual transmission? -- Tafkam Hokie Apr 17, 2025 at 10:19 AM ET

The ultimate VW beetle, IMHO.** -- agray123 Apr 17, 2025 at 02:30 PM ET
