GM pulling out all the stops now to survive and make some good cars. 6 speed is needed to get best MPG and in the past fewer gears = fewer parts and ez sales + maint.

Raptor Blood!! (just kidding.. but there is a real ATF fluid called Raptor blood from PATC).

If people won't even do that when considering something as important as a presidential election, what makes you think they are going to do it before they post on an internet message board?
