I will gladly welcome the addition of a 10-spd auto equipped 1LE.
Bring it on.

I had similar thoughts. This left knee is not going to last forever, way its going. I am concerned that even if I get a new one, it will impact my ability to depress the clutch. Hopefully knee replacements will be even better in 10 years.
I agonized over getting the 1LE because of the knee thing, and the fact that my wife doesn't yet know how to drive a stick. Not sure she will ever want to drive it anyway.
Will I replace it with an A10? Nope. When it comes to women and cars, I mate for life. My decision is made. Till death do us part. If something tragic happens to my 1LE, would I get the A10....Man IDK. I'd probably wait for the electric.
Would I question somebody with the A10 in their 1LE. F no. Its equal to me. Just like I expect they won't mock me for the M6 as they out run me on the track. (Which there's no way I could blame that on the M6) Feel free to mock my driving skilz though.
I DD a 2001 Aztek, I can take it.
*Ridiculous note - I actually injured myself driving to work in a M6 Sonic RS a bunch of years ago. My knee popped funky when I went to push in the clutch. It was shortly after I turned 40, and it hobbled me for....a couple months. I was like, oh man, Dad was right. 40 sucks! So thats the source of my joint anxiety.
