Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:00 GMT "Hybrid" is not a label sports car fans have typically embraced.

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:30 GMT Every year fewer cars are offered with a clutch and a shifter. But we disagree. A manual is more engaging and fun, requires more skill, and makes the driver better. Here are 10 of the greatest driver's cars that still offer a manual transmission. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/pictures/the-10-best-cars-that-still-offer-a-manual-transmission?src=rss Popular Mechanics Automotive Blog http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/pictures/the-10-best-cars-that-still-offer-a-manual-transmission?src=rss?
