Don't forget the Mazda MX-5, I think Mazda will be the only automaker and Toyota if they continue the 86 to make manual transmissions

I didn't. That's why I said cars "like" you maybe right though?

Cough, cough. Add the Civic & Fit to that list! ;-)

For performance and efficiency, CVT is the only way to go in the mid to long term. At least until the coming electric singularity. Just not the jerky, noisy, somewhat fragile CVT we use today. But when you think about it, this type of transmission can be set to ALWAYS be in the peak of the efficiency envelope, or ALWAYS stay at the top of the power /torque band. No interruption in putting twist to the tires. But it'll still be a hard sell to a potential Ferrari owner!

Once we're all 'lectric, this conversation will be moot. India said they want to be that way by 2030 (and everyone knows that if any country can accomplish that feat, India ain't it). Expect them to have agreed upon a national battery charger standard by 2070, and have the plans in place for the infrastructure by 3030. Which is about when the Indian mean income might actually be able to afford an electric car. Yet I just heard an entire, serious media report believing the goal. People are stupid!
