I don't need to present anything. You need to reread this thread and understand that I never disagreed with anything you said about manufacturing. I never quoted you about manufacturing, and I never said anything you said about it was wrong. That's a fact.
I did question whether you knew anything about the emissions regulation that you claimed "makes perfect sense" about why Subaru couldn't put a red manifold on automatics, and it turns out you indeed did not know what you were talking about. I didn't claim to know, just like I freely admitted I'm not intimately familiar with the details of manufacturing logistics. I was just curious about the claim that emissions factored into that decision and wanted to know the answer.
Does that document explain which emissions regs prevented Subaru from putting a red manifold on the autos, but allowed them to put one on the 6mt's? You already admitted earlier that you didn't know the specifics, but now you do and they're in a document from 2012? Which is it?

I replied to your statement that maybe it was a batch order. You somehow took offense to that. I wasn't twisting any of your words nor playing some imaginary mind games but simply trying to clarify a point that you did not seem to get.
I never claimed to know the specifics. Not even once so there is no admitting anything. The fact that the emissions were why the EU models did not get the new intake is well documented by Subaru. It does not take much to transfer that thought over to the California regulations which are the closest thing in North America to those EU standards.
The document outlines the requirements up to 2025 and indicates the fleet requirements. No it is not specific to the red manifold. That documentation is not going to be public.
