My crystall ball says it is only a matter of time, before all standard transmissions in cars will only be a memory.
Believe me, after 30 years of pedal-stabbing, I've really enjoyed the last 10 years of automatics, especially my current 5 speed with tiptronic function ( so I can be a pretend "macho-racer" ).
Look at Audi, VW, BMW & many others.
Where are they headed ? SMG, DSG, etc. " Clutchless " standard transmissions, i.e. semi-automatic.
