R.I.P. The Clutch

[Stephen R.]

Anybody care to guess which major manufacturer will be the first to discontinue clutch transmissions?

AutoStick, TipTronic, etc. are going to take over... like it or not. Some of you may say nay, but as soon as the OEMs Nintendo-ize it enough, make it glow in the dark and stick it in a movie, they'll go with it.

Besides, these days it's just simply impossible to clutch and chew gum at the same time [B)]

Does that mean that my 5-speed will become a collector's edition? [?]

One step closer:

That's Ford, but Ferrari is a lot closer.
