I think that should increase the value of those of us who have manuals, sports/ touring, don't you think so.
Personally, I wouldn't replace my vehicle with a newer one if all I could only get was with an automatic transmission, just my opinion.  |
Though having a manual tranny will not increase the market value of the vehicle, I do believe it will increase the sentimental value and people will pay top dollar and way more than what it’s worth if equipped with a manual tranny. I think the 370Z will fall into this category.

I can speak from experience on this. I went from a 6MT 350Z to a 7AT 370Z and now a 6MT 370Z bc I missed the manual tranny so much.

In the past, the three main reasons to buy a manual were: greater durability, more gas mileage, and more fun. New autos have all but done away with the first two. Laziness is working on number three.
I've gotten pretty lazy - I haven't had a manual vehicle in about a decade (last one was a '67 Mustang that I sold to make room for the 2009 Z I had).

There is a meme out there with a picture of a manual gearbox and labeled as “the best anti-theft system”.

I think Nissan made a mistake producing auto Nismo models. Honda doesn’t even make auto for their Si lineup.
