Re: 5-speed Stick (moved)

Six-speeds are the modern standard in manual transmissions, nearly every car worth a damn has a six-speed manual, not a five-speed. Your argument for using less gears is like arguing that an automatic should still have three or four speeds. If the LXs had come with a four-speed they would have been lambasted in reviews for it, and for good reason.

A brand new car should have entirely modern features, that includes transmissions with the appropriate amount of gears. Especially today in the era of high fuel prices. I'm not complaining about using sixth in my GTO and getting 28mpg on the freeway with it.
