I have zero interest in 8 speeds or diesel.

6 is more than plenty gears, and even then can have too much shift business. The GM V8s have plenty of tq to not need a rediculous number of gears.

It's all marketing hype. 8 must be better than 6...

The Vette just got a 3rd overdrive on the Stingray 7 speed. Drive a current 6 speed vette, 6th is super tall and more than enough overdrive. Driving one I've never thought... wish it had another overdrive.

And diesels.... can't stand the stench, noise, or fuel price. Pass.
