Evan Wrote:I wonder if its a packaging issue?
this was my first thought - not mechanically, but from an interior design standpoint. if they want to go full ham on the touchscreen dash cradled in that little scalloped-out center console area, its just not possible to make it functional with a gear shift in front of it while also being able to comfortably fit your average cornfed Merican fatass.
i THOUGHT a manual would be a slam dunk...i mean the vettes have been using remotely located transmissions for generations now with the torque tube and what not, so making the linkages to run rearward would be cake for the engineers. so i'm pretty convinced they just couldn't make it functional in the center console with the new tech package.
