[BiturboS4] New to list, a little long

[Russell Romano]

I'd say most... no offense to anyone here, but the vast majority of these cars are sold as automatics!!!  What does that say about the "driving enthusiast" level of the buyers?  I think most people buy german cars to express their financial status, not because they understand the difference inherent in the car itself.

In certain BIG cars that you are never going to drive hard I can understand it, other than that, an automatic transmission belongs in a mini-van.  Once you give up the manual trans YOU are no longer "driving" the car, you are simply steering it.
