3.5 6 speeders - gettin' mo special and special!

Don't know if this is old news, but I just picked up the latest R&D mag, and it seems the '07 Max will do away with the manual transmission.

. Kinda makes the 3.5 6 speeders even more special IMO. (Sorry for you oil burning 3.5 ers). But I think its sad that Nissan too has shifted away from standard transmissions on their Maxes now. R&D were talking about CVT tranny, which elminates torque steer, but I can't imagine a Max w/o the manny tranny option UGH!! So best enjoy those shifts in the 3.5 and remember what a true special sedan u own!

they are making cars more sophisticated by adding more sophisticated parts to them so that after your warranty runs out and the sophisticated parts need to be replaced, you will get a very sophisticated quote from your service advisor...
