Porsche start listening to your customers, as BMW does.

The Porsche dealers across the country are ultimately who sold us out. The "voice" of the customer to Porsche is effectively our dealers, and I found out from my local dealer that they were given a "questionnaire" from Porsche about the manual transmission and how the customer would react to it going away. The dealers basically told Porsche not to worry about, and that they could sell more cars if it was PDK only, for no more reason than that they wanted to also sell more cars via the double clutch. It was greed on the part of all our dealers who ultimately sold us out. This came straight from the GM of my local dealer. Pretty upsetting actually.

I still can not grasp the concept that the GT3 of all cars is only available in PDK. I was planning to buy a new GT3 later this year as a retirement gift to myself for over 20 years in the Air Force, but it's not even an option now. Even the new Turbo is only PDK. In my opinion Porsche has lost it's way, and my faith. Porsche was always the motoring worlds rebel, but now they are just pretty Nissan's with a historic name and badge. With a new Carrera close to 100k, my money and loyalty will be looking at the Aston Martin Vantage for just a few bucks more.

I highly recommend you test before you buy it....the Aston looks nice, the rest of the driving experience is not so good.g
