Infiniti Q50 S

I have a feeling what's going to happen is auto trannies will be standard and manuals wil be a cost option down the line. I expect the 6mt in the Q50 the same year the Q60 is released. I'm sure the 60 will have manual.

I sure hope so. Nissan has been all about nixing manuals lately. Well... not just Nissan. Pretty much everyone.

I was looking at the luxury sport sedan line - BMW and Audi are the last ones out there offering a MT. In fact, the 2014 Audi S4 only gets a 6MT option in the US... not even in Europe!

this is just my guess. I think they are nixxing them now so when they bring them back as a cost option. People will just focus on the fact that manuals are back and optional. They won't focus on "why are they paying more money for a tranny that's cheaper to build than the standard auto.".

Only 20% of the market buys manuals, but 20% of 1,000,000 is still 200,000. That's a viable number and a considerable demand. Manuals a rent going anywhere. The halt is all market strategy.
