[OFFICIAL] Discussion for the next new Nissan 400Z Z35?

No manual, no thanks. If I wanted a dual clutch gear banger i'd get a golf R. This is hobby car for most of us, corvette seems to know that and their sales reflect that.

"Folks always like to know what the breakdown is with the 7-speed manual transmission vs the new 8-speed automatic. For the 2015 Corvette Stingray, that breakdown was 25.6% manual and 74.4% automatic. For the Z06, the take rate on the 7-speed manual was 51.6% while the new 8-speed auto accounted for 48.4%. The automatics started production a little over a month after the 7-speed manuals so perhaps this will change for 2016."

This is a perfect example of a hobby car, and hey look its 25% and 51% manual sales,

People will still buy it and enjoy it for what it is, but many of us will move on.
