Why do people hunt and fish instead of just going to the grocery store? Because they enjoy it. And the faster argument means nothing. They both accelerate just as hard while in gear, and damn few people competitively race.
It's just hard for me to understand 65% for autos. It's a sports car. Why would you want anything but three pedals? Must be the median age group buying it creeping up.
The GM dealers also have a lot to do with this. The Chevy dealer here had a white C7 with an auto. When I went in to try and get a part I asked about it out of curiosity. The salesmen was extremely rude to me, and said the manual in the car was a waste of money on any buyers part and GMs part. He also said they will never sell a new vehicle with a manual transmission.

The median age for C7 buyers will be lower than it was for the C6...or heads will roll at GM. That was the whole point in the C7's "controversial" styling.

Why would you drive something as dull and boring as an automatic? Do you live on a racetrack, where every tenth of a second saved adds hours to you life?
