You really think in just 3 years all those engines will no longer be in production? I'll counter that the N/A boxer 6, V8, V10 or V12 that are slated for production in 2020 are right now going through Q1 pre-production qualification.

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."
