Since we all know that the clutch pedal will eventually disappear (in the next ten minutes, probably), would that affect your choice of high performance car?
I mean, I don't like the BMW M3 very much but I'd consider one because of its alternatives it's the only one that can be had with a manual. Likewise the Porsche Panamera.
But if the clutch pedal goes away, what would be the point of having an, otherwise, awful car? I mean when the Flappy Paddle Brigade finally takes over Gearboxland completely, I'd be interested in very few high performance cars.
Normally Aspirated AMG Mercs, Maseratis, Jaguar and proper Bentleys. And since normally aspirated AMGs and proper Bentleys are a dying bread, only Jags and Masers.
