Have they found a way to not make the interior smell like toxic chemicals yet? Probably my biggest annoyance with Hyundai's stuff, I feel sick shortly after getting into one.

Definitely a decent-looking car, pretty derivative and no new ground broken in the styling department. It looks like any Infiniti or Lexus from the last ten years except in the front where it doesn't have those marques' overwrought grilles.

There are hardly any RWD/MT sedans out there. Hell, there are hardly any MT's that are not econobox or sports car.

While I never got wholly used to the Macan, one of the things I miss least is the PDK. Competent, but not the best in delicate/tight garage maneuvers. Something to be said for a good old clutch... It was certainly competent and more efficient. I could be in 5th gear by the time I went one block at 30mph, no way even with the most diligent shifting, I could keep the revs so low.

Yes.

In terms of 2019 model year, the G70 is the ONLY luxury brand that offers one unless you count the 4 seater BMW M6 Grand Coupe.

Also the M2 is still available with a manual I think. And Porsche offers manuals on 911s...
