I'm puzzelled.... why not offer a manual transmission on the Ridge. I happen to like shifting my vehicle when I want...not when it wants. I have driven both for many years and prefer the stick over auto. Better gas mileage, more control on incline/decline of hills or mountains.
I have owned (and still do own) other Honda cars with sticks. I would think the cost of producing a manual trans is far less expensive than an automatic trans. Besides, which came first the chicken or the egg?
The only problem I see with having a stick is that second generation baby boomer's don't know how to drive a manual transmission (too much of a hassle for them while they're on the phone
).
If you have input...please share...I've check for a thread about manual trans and nothing pop up. So I figure I'll start something.
