Manuals are only common in shitboxes in yurop, everyone else uses automatic. I shit you not is much easier to find a manual S4 or 325i in manual in the US than in yurop.
Dual clutches are fragile as fuck and don't handle torque well. IMO a single-clutch semiauto like in Lambos would be better for anything north of 450hp but of course Euros are incredibly fixated to autos in their expensive fast cars.
Yup, it's our fault. Sorry.
Yet they are the ones who essentially introduced automobile designing.
it was Germany actually if you are talking about ICE, if not it was France
>being this retarded
Do you seriously think that Henry Ford invented the car?
because new autos make the car ever so slightly faster. Benchracing is to blame for this. All the BURGERKINGISTHEONLYMETRICTHATMATTERS fags are to blame for this.
you can't market feel, but you can sure as fuck market numbers
No, rich people in Europe all drive autos. The only reason euros and japs drive manual more is because that's all they can afford. If they were as wealthy as America they'd all drive autos.
Rich people are the ones buying super cars.
Modern torque converters are just as fast and lighter than dual clutch trannies.
The 10 speed in the actually ZL1 shifts faster than PdK.
BMW is giving up on DCT and replacing it with the new ZF8HP
autos are cheaper in the US.
Didn't Audi just move away from dual clutch as well?
