I agree that Detroit has mad a lot of uninteresting vehicles for many years. Thankfully Ford seems to be doing a good job of improving the quality and value of their vehicles.
Bassjoos did make an excellent point about the differing gear ratios. The tallest overdrive gear ratio I've ever owned was in an automatic; for the life of me I can't understand why car makers can't put taller gears into manuals as stock. I know the 6 speed in the Corvette has a ridiculous overdrive (.50 to 1 IIRC) which allows the Corvette to get amazing fuel economy on the highway when cruising, as in around 30 mpg!
