Journalists never enter MY decision matrix on what to buy or equip a car I am buying. They can go funk right off. Most NEVER ever own anything they test to begin with. A 1/2 day with one car does NOT MAKE one an EXPERT.

Many so called 'expert' YouTube paid shills have no real experience other than..........well they drove a car. The motoring press are not at all much better qualified either.
So you're saying car enthusiasts who love manuals can't be disappointed by the removal of them from many cars that used to offer them? The "whining of the press" represents many enthusiasts who are disappointed about the current direction away from stick shifts, no shade against those who are happy with an auto but it's a valid concern.
