Motor Authority has launched a PSA to provide manual transmissions the love they deserve. After all, drivers and manufacturers are leaving them in droves, transiting to automatics and dual-clutch gear boxes that provide faster shifting times and better fuel economy. However, the benefits may not outweigh knowing how good it feels to knockout that perfect downshift in a good old fashioned manual. So let’s take the time to Give a Shift this week and celebrate the transmission that put the term “sports” in front of the car.

Start giving a shift and get behind the wheel of one of our manual-transmission cars.
