There may be few, but those few are great for hard-line purists.
Examples:
GT3/GTS/S/T, C7 ZR1/Z06, Lotus, Camaro ZL1 1LE, GT350R, M3, 718, Hellcat, etc.
the right thing for GM to do is offer a proper manual and a DCT or automatic, so everyone has a choice on if they want a clutch pedal. I’m not willing to sell my soul by downgrading to an automatic just to have the next new Corvette.
admittedly the purist group is a minority, but it’s a vocal minority as proven by price premiums on those purist cars.

Having no manual option will almost certainly cause me to hang on to my C7 very long-term. However, my wife is very interested in the ME based upon the renders she's seen, so there's a good chance one will end up in our garage.

Melting Slicks
Looks
quality of materials
performance
price
I personally can’t say what I would pay since I have not seen the product yet. If it is C7 quality I wouldn’t pay much more for a ME C8. If the build and quality warrants I would pay much more.

Keeping our C7s and adding a C8, is what several of us will probably do. I'll certainly make garage space if I add one. 👍
