Somewhere I saw posted that they only made 700 of the 10 series FR-S's in manual transmission? is that true? wonder why so few...

That is correct. So just 28%. I think this has been discussed. They figured with the added features like dual-zone and push start and increased price point it would appeal to a slightly older generation who would want more autos.

The same thing happened with the monograms and maybe to an even lesser percentage.

Can't forget that these autos aren't pieces of crap either, and many sportscars come in auto these days.

Especially since these automatic transmissions are sourced from the Lexus parts bin and get better mileage. If I had to have a slush box this would be the one.

Just traded my firestorm frs for the ten series. I would upload a badge picture but I'm not sure on how to do that. My number 2211 of 2500.

I wonder when will every 10 Series be gone? Do you think they would've disappeared faster if more 6MT were made?


I was under the impression that it was 60AT/40MT since most people don't drive MT but on this forum I think it's more MT 10 Series than AT (can that be verified?).

Now that you mention it, I like having one out of 700 better than one out of 2500! That averages to about 14 of them per state. So all in all, you're pretty unlikely to see another car like yours. Cool...

I was thinking the same thing!

I wonder if there is a list somewhere of which numbers got the manual transmission...?

Congrats! You're the first to post from the recently announced future home state for TMS USA. Pic in front of the Alamo requested!

Pics are easy, just get a free account at Photobucket or similar site, upload the photo there and copy/paste the link here either directly or using the yellow photo post button shown on the top border of either a Reply or Edit post.

Not that anyone knows of. It's up to members to list like we did in Details.

Even fewer in the relatively sparsely populated Pacific Northwest that accounts for less than 5% of sales spread across five states, about 25% of the US landmass (AK, WA, OR, ID, MT).

At that rate my state got about 7-8 6M/T's but I've yet to see any other 10 Series.

That was one of the main reasons I decided to cancel my Monogram order and keep the 10 Series. The color has really grown on me, even more on most anyone seeing it for the first time.
