This was a follow-up e-mail I got from AoA after I voiced my displeasure with their reported intent to drop manual transmission on their mainstream cars. The interesting part to me is that the models listed below which will continue to carry a manual tranny are the only ones Audi offers in the U.S. with such a transmission. So I am not sure which model would be impacted by this decision at all.

Dear Alan:

Thank you for contacting Audi of America.

As we stated earlier, we certainly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your opinions on manual transmission, and your note has been forwarded to the appropriate individuals in Product Planning. We look forward to hearing from you again if we can help with any information or be of any further assistance.

In the meanwhile, please be assured that manual transmission will continue to be offered on TT, R8, S4, RS4, A4, A3 plus upcoming Sport Coupe models. This point was stated at the press conference, but not reported in the articles which have appeared.

Again, thank you for contacting Audi.
