The Edmunds video indicated the RT1 weighed in at 7,500 pounds. Holy crap that is heavy for a midsized pickup truck. I was almost sold on the thing (despite the ugly front end), but Jesus, 7,500 pounds is ridiculous. It's 48Kw/100 miles reflects that weight.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
