Agree, this is way off topic, but what car mfr is bringing back manual shifters?! Yes, Miatas, certain Hondas, Toyotas. VWs, Ford, GM and of course BMW and Porsche still offer it. But with the advent of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), the leader is Tesla and they only have one speed. Same for the Chevy Bolt and Nissan Leaf. Even the new $150K Porsche Taycan will only have a 2 speed transmission. None of these BEVs have manual transmissions. Similarly, with bicycles, things are going to e-shifting with Shimano di2, Sram etap and Campy EPS. They all work very well. I don't see a return to dt shifters....Good Luck! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
