If the take rate is so low on manuals in Vettes why didn't they stop making them several years ago? Why is it only used as a rationale now? If a manual can be made for the C8 they should go ahead and offer it, even if it is an expensive option and a low take rate. If the desire is there, they should sell at the low take rate as usual. At least the automatic now gets standard status as opposed to being the more expensive option...lol..

I think the way Tadge worded it was it was dropping every year since the C7 came out and last year was the lowest take rate for it and they didn't want/couldn't findsomeone willing to develop it for such a low take rate- His words paraphrased
