    No more stick shift starting 2023 :(

    I have a CVT but for those of us who prefer stick shift, looks like there will be no more new manual transmissions at least not in the US 2023 models forward. Also looks like prices are going up

    Ugghhhhh, more stuff by default and higher prices. Not a good trend. If I didn't do 10 miles of bumper to bumper a day, I would have got a manual and I still somewhat regret it. Post covid the trafffic isn't as bad with everyone working from home 3-5 days a week. Everyone left the city and the offices are still mostly dead. So dead they dimm the lights in the building to save money in the middle of the day on Mondays and Fridays.

    Auto climate control is garbage, and give me manual windows if we can save some more money. If they want to throw more in do reliability upgrades like better metal treatment or disc brakes in the rear.

    I guess $16k will be the new cheapest MSRP in America.

    I agree the corolla le is too competitive. canada doesnt have collision avoidance on the non top trim mirage but the corolla does. and the LE corolla has auto AC, heated seats, CarPlay and BLIND spot monitoring.

    The safety crap is useless (to me) as I pay attention 100%. Most of the rest of the stuff is fru-fru. A/C and cruise is the only things I require.

    Power windows are nice. But I could live with a manual window at the driver's seat, and power windows for the other 3.

    I think they should bring back column shift manuals.

    3 on the tree? Made for ease of "night moves" in my old Chevy C-10. Can they do 5 on the tree?
