Want opinions automatic vs. manual transmission - Toyota Yaris Forums

YarisBlazer · 06-09-2007, 02:42 PM

If we jump 30 years into the future, I think manual will go the way of the dinosaur, at least in the United States; we cannot rely on Mid-East oil forever; I think in the future to have one car will be considered a luxury item; most people will either ride public tranposrt or bicycles, as they do now in China which has over 1 billion people; when the USA has 500+ million people (which it will by 2050) I highly doubt most people will have cars; if they do they'll all be auto transmissions and probably most of them will be ethanol-based, electric, or hybrids; just my 2 cents.
