It's not a big surprise that the manual-transmission SUV is next up on the chopping block for vehicles sending the manual the way of the dodo. The appeal of the manual gearbox largely has to do with driver engagement. The appeal of the sports utility vehicle is mostly down to convenience in the modern automotive landscape. These two qualities are, if not incompatible, at least difficult to counterbalance. Then you add cost concerns into the mix, and it's easy to see why SUV makers would rather avoid spending millions developing a new stick shift and passing the expenses on to the buyer in a segment that frequently competes on price alone.

We are unabashed fans of the Lexus LC. With its smooth and sonorous 471-horsepower V8 under the hood, concept car come-to-life styling, and luxurious and detailed interior, there's an argument to be made that it's the finest grand touring car on the market here in 2024. Particularly as Lexus fixed it's biggest niggle - the only thing we complained about.
