Dear mappel70,

Sounds like a bit of over reaction to me. Don't care if they sell for more or quicker on the used market; that's never a consideration for me. Of the 29 cars my wife and I have owned or leased since we got married 40 years ago, about half were sticks. Four of those cars were Nissan Maxima SE's. Three of those four were automatics, and the fourth, a six-speed stick, was far and away the best drive. And if I could afford a C6, yeah, it'd be a stick. Do I think a car that's a sports car should only have a stick, including the 911? Yeah, I do.
