Lamborghini Officially Kills off the Manual
#42
mate, if you want one you can get anything from a pristine delivery mile car still in its wrapper to a 10k+ mile driver. they made over 4000
hell yes, it hits all the right buttons for me. you guys can keep all these 4wd, automatic, insulated "supercars"

I am going to play devil's advocate a little here. Let me preface this by saying that every car I have ever owned has 3 pedals and I much prefer to drive a manual for the same reason as all of the rest of you. However, for a brand like Lamborghini, how many people really buy or order one with a manual anyway. It has to be such a small amount that this really is an insignificant change. I would like to know the percentage of Gallardos and Murcies that have a manual. I bet it is a very small number.
Honestly anyone that would order a Lambo with a manual transmission is probably already buying a Porsche anyway. I love driving with that 3rd pedal, but if I were buying a Lambo I probably wouldn't order it that way. As long as I had a fun car with 3 pedals like a Porsche to go along with it.
I guess my point is that for 98% of potential buyers out there, lack of a manual option isn't going to prevent them from buying a Lambo. Some of you included. If you are really wanting a Lamborghini I doubt this would be a dealbreaker.
All that said though....it is kind of sad that isn't even an OPTION. We should still have the choice. And it's a scary trend in the automotive world.

Werd. Two of my all time favorite cars. Unfortunately, the CGT will never be in my reach. The FGT is a super slim chance. But why is it the cars I want oh so badly are one of the few that actually APPRECIATE in value (rhetorical ?. I know the answer). Dammit.

Change? By change, do you mean $60-70K b/c I've never seen a good example less than $160K
