Biggest BS I have ever read. I personally would pay $3k for a manual, as would many of us who would never consider anything but a manual.

That sentimental and emotional connection with the car that we crave...we would be willing to pay MORE for it.

If you think people pump their clutches hundreds of times a day to save $3k (especially when on a lease its far less), you know very little about cars, and people.
