If you want the V6 to have a manual trans....
....speak up now, or forever hold your peace.
That is all.

yes, please.
As much as I like my '06 Cobalt with an auto, its still more fun to drive the '94 V6 with the manual.

(Playing devil's advocate) If the V6 comes with the A6 and paddle shifters, is a manual trans even necessary?
Interestingly, yesterday I was looking at the epa's fuel economy website. (Thinking about picking up a 3rd gen V6 for a daily driver.) In the mid 1980s the A4 version of the V6 got better mpg than the M5. If GM can couple a A6 with "sport mode" why bother with a stick?

Interesting question. I almost wonder whether or not manuals would sell better on the base car if you allowed whatever percentage there is true demand for as they probably will sell to a younger demographic that may be more willing to row the gears in everyday life.
That said, if a good A6 is offered I can't see myself buying the manual.

If the auto is two-mode equipped, then no thanks.

If I was getting a V6 then yes it would be manual or another car.
If the camaro wasn't getting a V8 and I was forced to a V6, it would be manual or another car.
If the V6 came in a manual and the V8 didn't I would get a V6 over the V8.
If I was going for the V6 and it didn't come in a manual but the V8 did, I would get the V8 manual.
See the picture I'm painting?

It has already been confirmed...... the V6 WILL offer a 6 speed manual or 6 speed automatic. No paddle shifters on the automatic for either the V6 or V8.

No tap shift would be completely idiotic.

I'd love it, but I'm not counting out the tap shift either.
They're making big strides where you don't have to lift the throttle at all to shift.
BUT....BUT, they must leave the ability for the driver to have control, upshift or downshift...any rpm...or it'll suck.
(tapshift as in manumatic...not paddles)

Want a fun car, not necessarily a fast car.
Most of my cars have been imports w/ manuals, and I'd rather stick my money into a sunroof/leather/nav/etc than a big engine. (Complete heretic, I know.)
