Joey -
Yes it does take more attention to drive a manual - But many of us PREFER to be more connected to the car. kinda like the "be one with the car" idea. After years of driving a manual it becomes second nature to some extent - but you always have that connection.
I am hoping that the FE pressures drive auto makers to offer Manuals with better gearing. maybe they can package with some basic aero packages ( factory Moon Discs?) i would pay a K or more for a car that was in line with what my "goals" are.
