... when it comes to "steady state". Specifically, long-term demand during no-supply-shortage time.

I guess part of it is that almost every manual ends up spoken for before they're even on a boat.

Yes.
No problems finding an AT in any color/trim combo you'd like for MSRP because they're already starting to sit on dealership lots;
whereas some MT color/trim combos have multi-month wait lists with people looking/buying cross-country.
Great example that "steady state" is not the same as "initial".
Too bad Toyota USA are dumb enough to not predict that the initial demand will be heavily skewed towards enthusiasts.
Now their otherwise most loyal customers are getting screwed over by dealers.
