The numbers I read stated that 75% of all Fx6 twins made at the factory are manuals, and roughly 65% of the twins sold in America are manual as well. These cars and the Miata are probably the only cars in America with that high of distribution of manual transmissions. If it seems like there's a ton of automatics for sale out there, it's because enthusiasts are snapping up all the 6-speeds and leaving the others sitting on the lots.
