I’d honestly love this. I don’t even care if the stick doesn’t actually switch gears and it can just give me fake engine rev sounds. I just miss driving manual and paddle shifters just aren’t the same.

    The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N wowed the cartubers crowd back in 2024/25 because it simulated a lot of the driving feel of gas cars.

    Maybe keep an eye on Hyundai.

    Edit: although I don't think they have simulated stick shifting

    They were doing paddle shifters in the Ioniq. Toyota was working on a car with a six speed shifter and a clutch. I don’t even care if it’s simulated shifting, I’d still get one.

    This article is from 2023, but it has more info on it. The manual transmission from Toyota is expected to go to production this year I think.
