EVs eventually will have transmissions (look at Porsche). In order to put smaller motors and increase efficiency they will start putting at least 2-3 speed transmissions.

That is one hell of a sexy Class 8 Semi truck!

Search any of the manufacturers' sites. Diesel is all over the place still.

Way cool...retro futuristic design...got me thinking it's time for GM to build a new Futureliner concept.

Haha me too, there is one about a mile from our office I will often just grab one consumables item (kirkland paper towels, bathroom tissue etc) after doing a sample lunch to supplement a packed lunch that was too small.

That's why I do Sample Lunch at costco without a cart.

Enjoying the fall weather...cool at night, 50s-60s during the day..trees in color and leaves falling.... first pic from my backyard yesterday, other pics from a local beach I visited yesterday after work.

And what are fiat & alfa doing??

FCA needs to discontinue Chrysler model vehicles already, they're just hogging capital and plant space.

I think we'll see an AWD 500 lb.-ft Murano before we'll see a GT-R

I'm not sure we can compare them directly since they are different vehicles.

I've had plenty of manuals, Hard reality is with bad traffic, and other factors, it really is better and even safer to be in an automatic. Autos are better at FE now, faster to shift, etc. I still would endorse some models out there have Manuals available. Primarily for performance vehicles and fun to drive vehicles. But really nothing like a base Kia Forte should have one. Now, say, if Chevy had a 2.0 Malibu manual in a true RS sports sedan package...maybe.

Jeez man, you and your double flushes.

Can't sell any worse than they do now.

Would go over like a fart in church.

The notion that manuals "need to go away" is absurd on its face. There simply isn't any reason behind that statement. Choice is always a good thing, and that applies to transmissions as well as any other aspect of equipment in a car. For my part, even if I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd never buy a new performance/super/hyper car with flappy paddles - it's a deal breaker. For me, manuals are simply more fun and engaging to drive - that's a happy exchange over an automatic that shaves a few tenths off of the 0-60 time. "It's faster" pales in comparison to "it's more fun". As for the tech (driving modes etc.), I'd opt out of that too wherever possible I don't like video games, and I sure don't want to drive one. I hope there remains room in the world for both, and the campaign to remove the choice dies, but as for me, I'll take the analog version.

Another angle.

As long as there is a Miata, there will be at least one manual transmission. Unless they turn that EV too.

Yes but rather than dilute the Murano name, the EV version will be called the Morono.
