It's not the cost of the transmission, it's the cost of developing one to fit the new cars when only XX cars will be made with it. Bad return on that R&D required to offer the option in the first place.

That 599 is a gem but the seats look out of place. I bet the interior is just as much to blame for the tough sale as the transmission. I like black and red interior, but that one seems goofy IMO, like the seats came from a different car!

 

^I kind of like how it tones down the interior. And from a durability standpoint, all the surfaces your hand touches are black, except for the door pulls and e-brake, which is a huge +. The red interiors start looking real tired after like 10K miles / 5 years of use.

Really the only thing I don't like about that car are the Scuderia Shields, they are oddly small looking and a little lost on the fenders of the 599.

 

love that 599 or any manual 599 for that matter

 

That 599 is gorgeous. I agree with you on the Scud shields, the car would look much cleaner without them. Slap on some GTO rims and we have ourselves a winner

 

Its called evolution...
I personally don't mind the extinction of manuals..

 

why not just have the car drive itself then, the next evolution will be auto pilot. who needs skill or interaction

 

This is terrible! I drive a 6 speed manual and I love every minute of it!

 

Saddened.

 

Damn! why they killed off the stickshift?!!! Oh well, there's always pre-owned Lambos! I'm a purist when it comes to sticks! it may take some getting used to semi-autos or paddleshiters!

 

but for how long
