I guess for the nostalgic market, manuals will live on. The newest automatics are faster, more efficient and more able to handle real torque than the manuals. If you have not had the pleasure of downshifting on the steering wheel while the electronics do the heel/toe for you, you're missing out. These are not your mom and dad's Mercury Marquis. If you are concerned with performance, the automatics have caught up for all but the most esoteric applications.
