The Genesis coupe has a Maserati ZF n no one gives a shyt. All they see is Hyundai. Feel me?

Don't know if the tranny has been changed, but yes tuned for the application.
And a car is a lot more than just one part. If the Dart had been on the diet that Alfa gave the 4C, and also had its engine/turbo/ECU, mid-engine layout, brakes, suspension, dimensions, ride height, seating position, steering rack, and lack of cup holders, navi system or rear seats, then it would be an equally raw, sports-driving experience. I'd buy one in a heartbeat (for Dart money, LOL).
That's why, to me, the loss of the traditional 3-pedal manual is not that big a deal. Sure, it means something to be able to do a series of perfect shifts. But, if car makers can give you something else in exchange to augment the experience, then maybe it's time for that. One last hurrah, before we're all sentenced to self-driving monotony cells.
