Your scoring criteria is flawed. Your practicality score needs to be based on the car's intended purpose. In this application, the engineers brief was on building a sports car, not a mini van.
a bunch of YT testers said they were sad about it too. Then some of them tried pushing the cars on small, twisty roads - and then they really liked the dual clutch auto, because they wouldn't have had time to handle the stick otherwise.
Fuck shit - why mislead this community by commenting on stuff you have no idea about? A manual gearbox does not exist because Alpine only had enough R&D to devote to one gearbox. They didn't choose the manual. Now ppl know the actual reason, not your made up BS.
