Made them inferior. Manual transmissions are antiquated. They belong in the annuls of history along with drum brakes, live axles, manual windows, etc. There is no reason for them to exist in the 21st century. Time goes on, new, better stuff kicks the old crap to the curb. DCT and automatics are the present and the future. You couldn't pay me to buy a car with a stickshift.
That's cool, you couldn't pay me to buy an automatic. There's little doubt that drive by wire steering, EPS and Google Cars are more advanced and higher tech than something like a BRZ, but I'll always prefer the involving car to the one that has no feel, no matter how big the numbers it puts up are. I like to drive my cars, not just be driven around in them.
