I do not understand the fascination with manual and never will. Automatic transmissions are far superior at shifting in modern cars as well as being more practical with the traffic conditions we face now.
Now they have even more of a reason to do it since VW confirmed the Arteon will get a similar looking version that follows the "shooting brake" styling.I love all the new hot hatches on the market, and I saw some renderings of a sportsbrake G70, which I think suits it. I was pretty disappointed when I saw the specs for the new Kia Rio GT, which has a pretty lackluster powertrain.![]()
