lol at all the “purist” crying about no third pedal… but you’re all o.k. with the rear wheels steering themselves (which undoubtedly is a well sorted stability control system). For the record I’d take both the auto and nanny systems. > [@MOBOOST4U](#): > > That said, do these automakers even listen to consumers in the slightest anymore? This paddle shift shit is the pits, why must every supercar move away from standard MTs??? They may not listen to the consumer such as yourself, but they do listen to the people actually buying the cars.

Disappointed to see that there is not even a 3 pedal option. I’ll stick with my current for a while. ---

I know not everyone who buys a GT3 will be tracking it, but you have to figure almost anyone who has ever drove a manual understands the difference in what they’re getting and how much more stale their ownership experience will be (I Know a little dramatic lol), ---

The article spends a good deal in trying to “defend” the PDK. I’m guessing the push to 2 pedal comes from the fact that most cars in Europe are 3 pedal cars to begin with. The PDK is different to them, something to talk about. Either way, the lack of a manual transmission, is a huge disappointment. I guess the 997 generation GT3 is the only one that appeals to me. Hopefully the 991 turbo will not suffer the same tragedy. X… ---

> [@91MR2](#): > > It looks and sounds to be spectacular car, but I will always prefer a true manual… This is what I’m saying. It looks incredible inside and out. Sounds like it will outperform pretty much anything. Yes I’ll never own one and cant afford one blah blah blah. Maybe I am a purist, certainly not crying about it because I really dont care for Porsche other than looks/design but I feel to truly DRIVE a sports car, in my opinion, it must have 3 pedals and stick. ---

My girl has a Yaris. 65,000 on it. She bought it with less than 30k. I’ve done oil changes, one set of pads and rotors, and tires… I really cant hate it as much as I want to. Despite how much it sounds and looks like a birth-control pill. ---

Walk into a Honda dealerships service department and see how many cars are there. Maybe 1 out of 6 lifts will have a car on it. And it’s on a lift for an oil change. I was just refered a customer from the guys at Athol Motorcar. He bought a CRV from me to replace his Saab. I gained a customer, they lost one.
