Dead: Manual A4

Ugh, that stinks.
|
Not surprising.

Not surprising but that blows.

C/D and BMW are trying their hardest to make me care about the 3er again.

They will offer a manual but not with all engines. I think I read the 4cyl will offer manual but 340 will be auto only. M3 will likely keep manual option though. This Audi example is sad but not surprising. They brought it back a few years ago when everyone begged for it and then only ~5% take rate. If people bought them they’d keep selling them. |

isn't the solution to a manual A4 really a new GTI with a manual?

I do care about the demise of the manual. One in an a4? Not at all. The a4 has always been a front heavy pig to me. |
last version sounds nice(not worth the money for me though)

I'll stick with my S4, but that's pretty cool.

WTF is a "hand-shaker gearbox"?
|
+ $6800? :rolleyes:

It is strange because I am finding I really don’t miss a manual in any car I drive that has an automated transmission and I say automated for a reason since the transmission in the A4 is a dct. |
The three cars that I have kept the longest, all over four yeas, were the 00 A4 2.8, the 06 Cayman S and the 10 A4 2.0T. I put a combined 90k miles on the two a4's.
The a4's may not be enthusiast machines eliciting passion, but rather than trying to guess/perceive my past emotions, if I look at the facts; how many sheer miles and years I got out of them, I see that their pragmatic appeal - in manual form. There is nothing wrong in how they shift. Longer than either the 04 s4 avant v8 or the 14 s4 3.0t... |
But, dead to America. . . .not really dead
