Audi has announced that the new 2019 Audi A4 and A5 will drop the manual transmission option in the US and Canada. As an owner of a 2018 Audi A4 manual transmission in the US it's very disappointing. One of the reasons I was such a big fan of Audi was the combination of luxury, all-wheel drive, and a manual transmission. On top of that it is also slightly faster than the automatic variant and can be more fuel efficient. Please sign my petition to help save the manual transmission option for the Audi A4 and A5 and have Audi continue selling manual transmission vehicles in the USA and Canada. And maybe add some manual transmission options to the TT and S/RS models if possible as well.
