Quote from: Gurgie on April 13, 2018, 01:26:27 am...all of us car guys are saying is it JUST would've been a GREAT idea, and from soley my view point it may have been a great marketing idea for them. This I completely agree with - I'll continue to be the thorn in the factory's side on this front. If a manual 3.3T ever were available, I'd be standing at the front of the line for a set of keys.Where my eyes begin to roll firmly into the back of my head is when the comments go from "it would be nice" to "they're idiots for not doing it", of which there's been a few. Anyway, I'll have a Siberian Ice 3.3T Sport this weekend assuming the weather allows (Michelin Pilot Sport 4 doesn't like snow), can share more pictures then.

Our smart phones give us instant access to the largest store of knowledge in human history.And we use them to debate whether Genesis' pairing of engines to manual transmissions was (a) merely disappointing or (b) utterly idiotic.The fact of the debate is itself idiotic! There is no hope for humanity.

But the way we discuss things, including cars, enables insights that go beyond the narrow topic of cars.I am surprised is all about the topics around which polarizing views form.

Still not sure why so much defence against them not offering a manual in the 6... all of us car guys are saying is it JUST would've been a GREAT idea, and from soley my view point it may have been a great marketing idea for them.
Quote from: CanuckS2K on April 11, 2018, 06:29:24 pmI'm guessing Hyundai made the decision that they did (like Porsche) for a reason. So I guess you must know something that they don't. Porsche reason is performance first in their top shelf performance cars. Their autos are quicker shifting than any human...and on their track day special cars, that's important. Also, FWIW, their manuals are nowhere near as good as your S2000.

Well, talk aside, here's some pretty pictures. Had to take the car to some meetings at our ad and PR agencies downtown, and one of the content specialists on the PR side was kind enough to come out in the rain and snap these shots (vanity plate in the front is photo-shopped as we'll be using these for the corporate social media accounts).More photos to come this week of a Siberian Ice 3.3T Sport with the red interior stitching and red brakes.
Now get on with the SUV's!

I really wish that interior were available on an AWD model at aprice in the 40s. My SO doesn't drive manual transmission cars. I'm going to put a $1000 down to lock in the rates and see what happens when I have a chance to test drive one.
If the smilies weren't enough I'm absolutely in love... Patrick can I have a wagon in Manual Transmission and AWD?
^^^^ I've wanted that kind of a rich mocha interior in a car for so long now....
