Ah the Ferrari 458 Italia, successor to the very invigorating F430. As
Ferrari tries to turn their road car interiors into Formula One like
cockpits, the visceral mechanical interface has been replaced by lots of
buttons and digitized compu
ter
readouts. But the most disappointing aspect of this new 458 Italia is
the unavailability of a true manual transmission. The 458 dual clutch
transmission is brilliant as dual clutch transmission goes, but when you
plunk down over $230,000 for an exotic sports car you should be able to
get a real manual transmission! Bloody hell.

No manual option? Really? |

Switches, buttons, paddles... Just give me a manual tranny! |
