what is the failure?

$50k-$100k SUV drivers complaining about a lack of an engaging stick shift driving experience.
That's like a bulimic complaining about the site of rib cage and taste of vomit.
That's like a Tesla owner complaining that he doesn't get to change his oil anymore.
That's like Ricky Martin complaining about all the chicks coming onto him at every show.


Wait, what do you mean he didn't like it?

Ok, research fail on my part, I thought it was only the 8 speed auto.

Nope you were right, research fail on my part. Only you responded before I could delete my comment. Older generations got the manual gearbox in Europe

I truly do miss my manual TDI every summer.

It's a different, but still very fun, driving experience.
