    There was a concept MT EV Mustang a few years ago, it was actually pretty cool.

    Why? Because they are fun to drive, handle better because you are in control and little weenie nancy boy's can't drive them.

    You know they’ll find a way to stop offering it for emissions reasons.

    Ummmm I. Have a manual because I like the part about not having my truck turn off while I’m using the acc key position.

    I want to drive the MT Bronco; it looks cool.

    I don't think I contributed to this tread. I do have a bit of an affinity for manuals; I grew up driving them. The first car I learned to drive on was my brother's POS 96 5 speed v6 Camaro, but I thought it was a blast at the time. Continued on to 98 Mustang Cobra and a host of other mainly sport orienting standard cars throughout the years in addition to the 97' Tacoma I had. They are more fun to me to drive, and I like the whole "I'm driving the machine, the machine isn't driving me" aspect, but these days, the main reason I buy manuals is because the autos never shift like I would shift. That includes the 3G Tacoma; I hated my 17 AT.

    The one shining light in a sea of shit ATs has been my 19' 8 speed Camry; it drives and shifts exactly how I want it to!

    Ford is doing an EV Mustang with a T56 6 speed manual transmission. It is possible!

    I heard it’s near impossible to grind the gears on a MT EV.

    Because I enjoy shifting gears and not have a transmission that's hunting for gears.

    I drove an automatic for a few days and felt it I kept doing that the transmission would piss me off enough to drive it off a cliff.

    because my truck is in the effing gear that i effing put it in, so ITS ALWAYS IN THE RIGHT GEAR.

    every time i get in an automatic, it seems like the damn Tranny just does what it wants, instead of what i want it to do...
