Performance related arguments are all outdated. FWIW I have always driven manual and still do, but the only reason manuals aren't obsolete is because of cost. There is technology out there that will outperform a manual transmission in every way.

I don't know enough about cars to refute this but if this statement is true then why is this technology not offered on higher end sports car?
Last time I bought a performance car where price considerations were not an issue the dealership didn't mention this technology as an option.

I could be wrong, but i believe he's talking about tiptronic transmission, which originated in formula 1, and is now featured in several sports cars.
