Subaru schafft das manuelle Getriebe ab denn die ganzen Sicherheitshelferlein funktionieren nur mit Automatik, so zumindest ein Offizieller von Subaru UK

Some disconcerting news for Subaru fans has come out from the Geneva Motor Show. Subaru's U.K. managing director told Auto Express that he doesn't see the manual transmission as having a future at the automaker. He explained that the company is really focusing on safety, and in turn Subaru's Eyesight technology. As a refresher, that system uses stereo cameras to enable features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control. The feature isn't currently available on manual-equipped Subarus, and the executive said he wasn't sure if the system was compatible. And with Subaru's push for safety and Eyesight, he said that continuing to offer manual cars without the system could undermine that push.

witzigerweise wird gerade im Automatikland Nr 1 vom dortigen Subaru-Offiziellen ein Statement abgegeben wie wichtig das manuelle Getriebe für Subaru in Amerika wäre

But a spokesperson for Subaru of America said manual transmissions are big for the company in the U.S. market, and didn’t express any doubts about its future.

“I can’t speak for Subaru U.K., but I do know they no longer sell STI and WRX,” the spokesperson told Jalopnik. “As for the U.S. market, we are invested in manuals and just went to great lengths to make sure our most recent model, the all-new Crosstrek, was launched with a six-speed manual.”

The spokesperson said more than 80 percent of BRZ, WRX and STI models are manuals, and that manuals are “important to our market.”

für Deutschland, Heimat der Schaltgetriebe, sehe ich allerdings schwarz, wir werden irgendwann in nicht allzuferner Zukunft wohl nur noch minimalmotorisierte CVT-Subarus kaufen können.
