Another reason to only buy old cars...

You can get them with a manual transmission!

"Audi officials, at a roundtable discussion with the media at this week’s North American International Auto Show here, admit they’re considering doing away with the stick shift for its mainstream U.S. models.

“It’s conceivable in the U.S. we may dispense with manuals,” Johan de Nysschen, executive vice president of Audi of America Inc., says."

This would exclude the S and RS models.

Well, I guess I won't be buying an Audi anytime soon. Manuals are becoming rarer and rarer. Are we the only people left that actually LIKE driving a manual?
