i'm pretty sure 06 was the last year for it
someone told me that GM is going to be doing that with many of their new cars... 2-3 yr runs, then redesign or axe it
something about people liking fresh material

Umm...it's right here ... I know, because I've built my own just for the heck of it. Hey Herc, does that mean they're bringing it back? Because I've really fallen for it... lol

Yea, you were right about the manual. I wasn't trying to disagree there. Just pointing out about the auto tranny.
