Otherwise we will have just Mustang GTs and Mopars that have manuals as the death of the Camaro was just announced.

Sorry, I must have missed that with all the mid engine hype. The new Corvette will not have a manual?? |
Automatic only. GM said the take rate of the manual was over 50% when the C7 was introduced in 2014 but it has fallen to less than 20%. GM said they could justify the engineering, development, testing, tuning, and certification costs for a manual with such a low take rate.
