This is excellent. I hope the market rewards them. Do manual transmissions next.
This is also a minor thing, but I also long for galvometer-based speedometers and tachometers. They're charming. You can keep the screens in the cluster, but just give me a mechanical dial and show me the engine RPM at all times even if it's a PHEV.
As someone looking for an automatic why do you want them to make more manuals? Or was it sarcasm?
I'm not a "for the love of the drive" type of fellow, especially after living with an older 6-speed manual for many years, so I'm curious where the enthusiasm for manual comes from.
