The fall that Honda took since Soichiro died has been more dramatic imo.

The fuck you on about m8? Toyota gave America one of the best driver's cars of the decade.

because its what sells
>>13934656
It's automatic only because when they offered manual in the previous gen, nobody bought it. I remember watching a video where a Lexus rep said they literally sold 2 manuals in the US in the last year they offered it in the IS.
That said, I have the 2015 IS350 F-Sport and god damn, it's a pretty fun car. All the components in it feel very well matched. The chassis, steering, and suspension is especially good.

Stop having shitty roads and insisting on shitty gearboxes, and you won't get shitty automatic americanised monkey-models.

Also it costs money for an automaker to develop and manufacture a manual version of a car. Why should automakers spend millions of dollars to offer a manual transmission option if nobody buys it?
you can get th ND with manual.

he was referring to the Miata MX-5, most people here ignore the RX-7 because of the rotary engine regardless of LS1 swaps
