You'd think these prices, the disparity in used car values for sports cars with true manuals vs DCTs along with the story re: the 430 Scud we were all drooling about would make it clear to companies that there is a niche - but viable market for manual transmission cars where customers will pay a premium to get it. It needs to be a 'sporty' model with a decent engine, not the cheap-o alternative with a wheezy 4 cyl. I am really surprised Ferarri doesn't offer manuals as a +$20k option for their customers that want them. I guess when you can sell every car you make and have a waiting list of customers who cares.
Maybe this will be the next Dinan style semi-mass market tuning business.
