What would some be some other fine topics he could write about before his exit?
Was this retaliation for the Pepsi max commercial?
So many questions.. Why Travis why??????????????

He has a point, though. A manual existing in a vehicle doesn’t automatically make it better than an automatic. It has to be a good experience for it to be worth it.

I wonder if Mr. Raphael Orlove will finally get the promotion he deserves. He’s been waiting for a very long time.

It sounded like it is going to Patrick, but who knows.

He’s joining R&T, he won’t be allowed to ride the brown manual wagon’s gravy train anymore.
R&T is a serious publication.

It’s not even the first time he’s written about the benefits of high-performance automatic gearboxes. He even links to one of his previous articles, in the article that you are referencing.
This is not a new development. Though I recognize the hilarity in the timing.

I meant the article that says he’s leaving :P But I found it. Thanks.

I agree with everything he said. A manual doesnt make every car better. Reading some of the comments reminds me why I don’t go to Jalopnik often.

Honestly I totally agree with his article. Many autos and pretty much all DSGs can shift faster than any human possibly could, and far smoother. On a modern car with a DSG or autobox with paddles I really don’t get the point of a manual.

Pretty sure they’re going to roll over him.

Now his job will be to sell cars.

And really, it doens’t even have to be a high performance or modern car, your LeSabre for instance probably wouldn’t be any more fun with a manual, being that it was a car built for comfort, not agility.

I just hope he doesn’t screw up R&T. The last few months have been fantastic reading.

I was tempted on this one and another one (I believe from True Lies). Simpsons got me good.
