Although this may seem to be a pretty silly question, it is a good one in my humble opinion. I am sure some of you will say that's not the case but that doesn't matter as I have the power of the keyboard.
Anyhow, being that the Paris Motor Show is in Europe, we weren't too phased out to see that the all-new Land Rover Discovery Sport was shown in two forms, one being equipped with a six-speed manual.

One of the vehicles was painted what I'll consider a cashmere color with a sand interior. A classy combination for what was clearly a vehicle intended to give off a luxurious vibe.
The other Discovery Sport on display was a bit more interesting. That's because it was sporting a BRIGHT orange paint job, black wheels and, overall, just looked more badass. As you'd expect, this was the vehicle equipped with a standard transmission.
While we know that there is a systemic departure away from offering ANY vehicle with a manual transmission,
we're a bit curious if you'd like to have one in an SUV before they're completely banished, which we're sure will happen in the very near term.
One of my most fun experiences behind the wheel was driving a manual Jeep Wrangler. There was something about it that just seemed SO cool, even though the transmission looked as though it was from a schoolbus and shook violently over bumps.
