They're probably banking on making enough money off the initial users and being able to quit after everyone realizes that the fees just aren't worth the convenience.
Just like people are figuring out with these food delivery apps.

With all the crap going on at GM in Ohio - the real question is - will this guy get to heaven and be rewarded with his due of 'virgin's, or should he go PDK Turbo 911......
Caught this lone Allahu Akbar Vette resting nicely this morning! Have a good day!
That is the real question. Thanks for the real talk Dave.
You're not landing hot willing virgins with corvette, everyone knows you need the 911.

Corvettes are for the poors pretending to be rich. Porsche is the cheapest acceptable sports car that shows you made it. Corvettes are

911 Carrera T and this is a great start and more should follow suit.
Naturally no one will as the greater margin is in the options, and consumers are more than willing to pay for it.

I hope that this sells well for the sake of "Save the Manuals" crowd. BMW just saved the manual, it is time to get out the cheque books!

I'm getting there with the PDK. I know there's no way in hell I could out perform it, and it is fun to drive. All that with consistent launches and no riding the traffic with your left leg only getting the workout.

At this level of speed a manual is simply not fun, the human body can simply not keep up with everything you need to do. I have no rugrats on the dct in mine other than the slow speed shit, but that comes as a side effect of epic shifts/ launch control etc

Definitely!
I had the DSGay too in mine and although I had a weird 5>6 shift hesitation at WOT that VW never figured out, I liked it.
The 6MT is supposed to be a disappointment in the R anyhow.
