凯迪拉克(Cadillac)正在用CT4-V和CT5-V黑翼车型重新推出手动变速箱运动轿车,但要复兴这一领域是否为时已晚?为了找到答案,我采访了路演的新闻沙皇。前雪佛兰党卫军老板肖恩·辛科斯基。顺便说一句,如果你喜欢我们正在做的事情,我们希望你能喜欢这个视频并订阅。随着凯迪拉克宣布其CT4和CT5 Blackwing将配备手动变速箱,这有效地证实了该品牌对手动变速箱运动轿车的承诺。现在你认为通用汽车在这方面做了一个明智的决定吗?还是说这些车只是为了强调这类车现在卖得有多差?首先,我认为这是一个明智的决定,因为总有一些核心用户想要手动变速器。它会是这一群体中最受欢迎的传播吗?不,自动档或者其他的什么会是最受欢迎的变速器。 Transmission but I think if they are truly trying to court the audience they want to buy that car it's very smart to still have a manual transmission. I mean for decades the manual performance sedan has been And huge. It loomed large in the hearts of enthusiasts who have always sort of demanded a little bit of practicality with their performance. As a market segment, it's given us cars like the E39 M5 from BMW, one of my personal faves, and And the Chevy SS which you were previously known these cars have already been lionized by car nerds and yet they struggle to sell what do you think that is I mean if you think that we're gonna start to see more of a resurgence in these kinds of cars yeah I think there is perhaps a shift among car enthusiasts that. They're looking for a bit of a jack of all trades kind of car, especially in the more affordable part of the market. You buy a Hot Hatch because it can haul some mulch if you gotta pick it up, but you can still have fun with it on a weekend. But for cars like the Chevy SS, which I still hold dear to my heart even though it's not in my garage anymore. Anymore. Those types of cars I think they almost demand a manual transmission. I also owned two Pontiac G8's, two big V8's under the hood and every single time I drove it I said man I just wish this had a manual. And so when SS finally came here I knew I had to have it and I knew I wanted a manual transmission with that just because. There was nothing like manually shifting with a lumpy VA ahead of me. It was just so much fun. As for a resurgence, the head on my shoulders says no, just because I think we're moving in a direction where the number of people who want performance perhaps just want to see the performance whereas With a manual transmission, I could foresee it more just becoming a fun factor thing. Manually shifting your gears doesn't mean you're faster anymore. It's perhaps just a thing like I want to have fun and throw others car around And this is just more fun versus paddle shifters on a steering wheel with an automatic.
