So I hear the 2.0T is getting a manual transmission as an option...

So... What do you think of this? In case you somehow missed the title of the discussion, it seems the Genesis G70 is getting an optional manual transmission in the 2.0T model...

Yes, I read that as well on Car and Driver, but seems that it's a one year special. This definitely changes my view on this car as my current Genesis lease ends. Obviously I would prefer the 3.3T, but if the 2.0T is strong and weighs less than 3800lbs, then I'm in.

And a limited-slip differential, maybe the most excellent one (Torsen) they had in the coupe?

It seems really strange that it would only be for a single year. Perhaps they want to see how many people buy the manual. It won't sell much. That's a guarantee. Most people will buy the automatic. So I imagine it would have to prove worthwhile to keep it as an option...

My guess is that this will get sold in very limited quantities for track (?) heads. The coupe is gone.

The coupe will be back in the form of a two door G70...
