Because I like my eyes. I have also paid off the 86 a long time ago and don't want to drop £50k on a car that I hate the look of..... I'd rather buy an A110 but I'm told by SWMBO that I need more than 2 seats [sigh].

M140/240 comes in manual here. Probably not as good as the OEM in terms of feel but it's OK and obviously designed for the torque. Probably similar in length on those platforms too. Would need a little research.

Decent V6 options also limited here, the only viable one I can think of would be a VQ35/37 but I'm not sure that would be much cheaper.
