    What is the common thing in first two cars?

    Long live the archaism!

    +1, we all know manual is more fun.  People won't admit it as their automatic cars are faster.

    I'm waiting for Ferrari to bring back their manual gearbox.Smiley

    I highly doubt Ferrari will bring back manual. It doesn't make sense in their philosophy.

    Unlikely Ferrari would because they don't actually have any manual transmissions, do they? At least Porsche still has manuals they can throw in.

    Didn't the last manual Ferrari option sell very bad? Their costumers just aren't interested. Porsche always felt the heat from their manual owners, big difference in clientele.

    Offer 500 manual 488 and they'll sell instantly for $200k over normal.

    Money talks. People are paying premiums for some lame paint jobs just because they are 70th anniversary cars, even when they are ugly. People will scoop up manuals like there's no tomorrow.

    It's just a matter of how much time and money it would take to create a manual being that they no longer have any.

    Apart from a manual gearbox, they both come from the Volkswagen group and are the track-focused variants of each model lineup. 

    Which reason is it now? Smiley
