You can also find a few Infiniti G35/ G37 sedans with a manual 6 speed transmission. If I were in the market right now, that would be on my short list.

nord-a-muricans are lazy and don't like shifting gears for the most part. On top of that, there are many well built, efficient, and long lasting 4-5-6sp auto transmissions now so the only real benefit is personal preference. "Almost" all arguments can be quelled based on model substitution and deepness of pockets.

Anyway, manufacturers don't offer many manual transmission here because of these reason. In Europe and Asia sure...but not here.

I've owned nothing but manual transmission vehicles for over 20 years as my daily drivers and I am dreading the day when I will no longer have that option. For now, I just stick to older vehicles.

My wife is the one that wants the manual transmissions in our cars. She's had them in her last two Mustangs and now in her Fusion. I've got to admit, I do enjoy driving the 6 speed on the weekends too.
