thats pure bs. back in the 60's and 70' more than 65% of USA born/based cars where Automatic (road and track source, may 76)...02 ended up wrong because of some physical limitations and source of proper transmission.

I am sure i can kick ass of a stock Tii with my 4hp22.

Nobody here can back-up real test drive comparision with a nice Automatic 02 vs a stock non-souped up manual 02, and end up with such "results"

in other words, shut the fuck up with your bs, you dont know what you talk about AT ALL.

that should be enough to start a debate isnt it ? back-up your ass if you are a pretender.

Isn't that link just a Mini add?

[NickVyse]

automatics are for girls

not primarily - sure, it's mostly brands that commission a survey about something particular, so they hint a little at their own brand

like sex surveys that are nearly always from trojan or durex

I heard all those results came from bluntech customers, but only those who bought parts for mid 80's GMC Eagle Sport Station Wagons.

That's what I call passion.

As much as I like driving my wife's Mini, I hate their marketing hype almost as much as Pat seems to. That alone would stop me from ever buying one of their cars, but there are a ton of other valid reasons not to, price being another huge one. I like iPhones and apple computers too, but Apple's over-the-top marketing turns me off too. I'm just not cool enough for either one. -Rojo

I liked the Fiat 500 until I saw J. Lo doing an advert for them...total turn off to the car now!
