what s wrong with this picture the color of manually edition

You’re shopping for a new Acura TSX, and you’re the kind of young go-getter who demands to shift it yourself. Naturally you’ll want to check it out online… but something’s wrong here…

Configuring the same car with an automatic shows the difference:

That’s right. Acura has decided that anybody crazy enough to order a stick shift in their TSX should be denied access to crazy colors like, uh, maroon and blue. What the hell? I suppose lime green is out of the question, no matter what you choose.

I'm not sure how many young go-getters can row their own these days, but I guess we can stipulate it for purposes of this discussion.

28-Cars-Later Ford reported it lost $132,000 for each of its 10,000 electric vehicles sold in the first quarter of 2024, according to CNN. The sales were down 20 percent from the first quarter of 2023 and would “drag down earnings for the company overall.”The losses include “hundreds of millions being spent on research and development of the next generation of EVs for Ford. Those investments are years away from paying off.” [if they ever are recouped, emphasis mine] Ford is the only major carmaker breaking out EV numbers by themselves. But other marques likely suffer similar losses. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fords-120000-loss-vehicle-shows-california-ev-goals-are-impossible Given these facts, how did Tesla ever produce anything in volume let alone profit?
