I thought than in America, with your usual 8.7 litre big block Hemi-Cleveland V8, gearboxes were actually academic. So it didn't matter than you ToqueHydra-cruise-o-matic had only two speeds and was useless at transferring power to the wheels.
Who would've thought that one day, more than four forward speeds would be necessary for American cars.
We should talk more about Saabs. I like to write stories as a hobby, usually loosely based on things that I experience, and I have a friend (which usually incarnates Lt. Nark) whose personality fits perfectly with a Saab Turbo.

Visca Catalunya!
In theory, Saab isn't exactly dead, they still sell the Saab Gripen.

...which can still taxi down a highway if you so choose so.
Well...
It is not a 37, but it is a 93.

Couple things to bring up in this thread.
Hertz, one of the largest rental car companies in the US is dead. No surprise. No travel from airports = no one renting cars.
Honda also cut back on a lot of their cooler offerings. The Honda Fit, Civic coupe and manual versions of the Accord 1.5 and 2.0 turbo are gone.
I'm not surprised, but disappointed as I wanted to get one of Honda's more recent offerings with a stick. Right now I might end up with a manual Subaru, but we'll see. Haven't gotten paid yet so I'm holding back on a purchase.
Well the Jazz is still available here but only as a Hybrid. I was never too interested in it.
I like the concept of the Civic Type R SportLine or whatever is called, you know the one with the smaller wing, higher profile tyres and more sound insulation. It still too boy racer for me, but a step in the right direction nontheless.

We won't get it, but the Honda e looks great. I think it's probably the best interior that I've seen in years.

Strange it's hybrid only, seems like other variations would make more sense- petrol or diesel. Does Spain get kei cars too? I feel like it would be helpful in narrow streets.
The Civic Type R Sport Line doesn't exist here, it would be nice. Restraint is not one of its strong points.
I think one of the many reasons why the Honda e isn't here (crash regulations, power, charging infrastructure, price, etc.) is that it has cameras for mirrors, which is a major issue for federalization. From what I remember, side view mirrors must be mirrors.
Mirrors aside, I don't see why it can't be a regular mirror. Must be super expensive to replace. Heavy too.
I'm trying to weigh my choices now again, as I may finally be able to get a car.
