Relax, It just a car (material object), why do you get upset when GTR is discussed.
Anyways, the GTR is an exceptional sports car and the dual clutch is a match for the drivetrain. All it doesn't have is the clutch, so you lose the need to use the left foot, but you gain using left hand. It might be fun to drive manual, but why do you suggest people aren't having fun in a DSG.

Um, I did not suggest they are not having fun. I have never said a DSG was NOT fun for others, I said it was not as fun TO ME because it is not as interactive. There is a difference there that I do not think the majority of people here seem to grasp. I have driven a DSG equipped GTI and a manual GTI. The manual was more fun to me, as I was more involved with driving it. If you guys like DSG cars, power to you. All I have ever said, is I think it would be more fun to drive as a slick 6 speed manual, Like the R34. I am not the sensitive one here. I just made a simple statement and the onslaught of insults began. at the end of the day, to each their own, right. |

Whaaaat? Bicycle. I like to do EVERYTHING manually, including moving the wheels Plus I don't want fiery death. I'm far too stupid to safely operate a motorcycle long-term.

I think what we want is a manual OPTION.
Key word, OPTION. Hell, make it a special order, kinda thing. Even if the buyer has to wait is 6-12 months ATLEAST make it an option. This goes for ALL sports/sporty/super/any? cars. I think there should always be an option. That way you DSG lovers can keep your faster shifting time and get your record lap times around the neighborhood, and the manual lovers can do what we do. Not gonna happen, but...... |

i have a 2008 wrx for when i want to row gears
i have a 800+whp (built motor, built trans, full bolt ons,E85, JRZs) 2010 gtr for when i want to be faster than pretty much anything at the track, run 9.99s@140 at the strip, **** on just about anything on the streets or drive my 12 year old to school in. All on pump gas, street tires and the same tune. The GTR was the first car I ever owned that does not have a manual gearbox and if the option was available I still wouldnt have bought a manual try rowing through first, second and third fast enough to keep up with that launch |

You may not know me but I am a member of the internet forum North American Subaru Impreza Owners Club... What do you mean you've never heard of it? It's only one of the biggest automotive forums on the internet! Anyways, I was writing to complain to you directly about the decision to not offer the GTR with a manual transmission. You see, I enjoy the visceral feel of rowing my own gears so much that I will be looking at another car unless you change your mind. Yep, you just lost yourself a customer. Unless you're willing to make one for me custom, that is. As it sits, I would not consider your completely boring, sedated and mundane flappy paddle supercar killer as I require a manual transmission-equipped car that lets me feel one with machine as I heel toe and rev match every downshift perfectly and clip the apex of Oak Street and West Main Boulevard on the way to work. I request that you cease and desist your technical innovations and so called "progress" at once and revert back to the 1970s as I grew up in that era and consider anything introduced since then to be a step forward and two steps back. I trust that the manual model will be ready for 2015. Oh, and if you could give it a 2.0l N/A motor as well, that would be swell. Turbos just ruin cars. Thanks! Sincerely, Forum Derp |

And I love how you had to mention you had 800 HP. Go ahead and tell us how big your penis is. I know you want to. You made a point to say you **** on everything in the streets, I bet you look so cool racing on the streets. You are my new inteweb hero for being so super cool |

Anyways, back on the topic of 2014 GTR. I wonder what kind of exterior updates. Also, I can't wait to see to see a final R35 version --nur edition or something. |

It doesn't look like there will be much, if any. If there are, I'm guessing that they're even smaller updates than what the 2012 model got. But I do feel like they'll go out with a bang and release some crazy edition before they move onto the next iteration. |

Seriously, auto vs. manual? Especially in this thread?

4 Demographics (not exhaustive of course):
1. GTR Owners 2. People who can't afford a GTR 3. People who can afford a GTR, know it is "better" than other cars, but want the image associate with driving something else 4. People who can afford a GTR, but truly want something more involving Each of these demographics seem generally opposed to the others - makes for heated debates - that are generally not about the car LOL... |
