Default C8 engineering interview

Apologies if this was already posted. This is a pretty good interview - gives engineering reasons for many of the decisions on the car. For example, they explain why they do not have a manual transmission option.

This has been posted a couple times, and I'm sure it'll be posted at least a few more times in the next few weeks.

But no matter how many times it's reposted, there will still be people who just refuse to accept the fact there will not be a manual transmission. The car's structure just isn't designed to accept one.
