!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! Of course most of us who would want one are going to wait for the 6MT and not buy the automatic, which runs the risk of GM not selling enough and thus not offering the manual. Dammit Heller...you get me every-time.

I'm hoping that the GTO and G8 aren't signs of how well it will do. Anything remotely Australian based coming from GM seems to fail. I like the possibilities though.

Then again, you could always sell to the Impala SS crowd.

We can only hope.

A RWD V8 full-size sedan WITH manual trans...yes, please!

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Personally I pray they do this. I pray it takes off and sells like hotcakes. In return, hopefully Chrysler will see how much people would love to have a RWD V8 manuel sedan and put a 6-speed in the Charger.

You know, after driving the ATS and feeling the paddles in that, I think I might be able to live with the paddle-auto in the SS if it is similar. They're quite sporty and on the verge of being violently instant. Pretty nice feeling.

This is as long as its modern paddle and not last gen CTS-V paddle.

Thus proving that money talks a lot louder than demands do.

Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.

It won't happen till they make a domestic RWD platform for their C/D segment cars.

Can they also make it a lot less expensive?
