FT-86 offered AUTOMATIC only?

I really hope I'm seeing things. I was just checking Toyota.ca and this is what i found. "Power and environmental performance are provided by a 2.0-litre 'flat four' engine that channels its power to the rear wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission."

cite: http://www.toyota.ca/cgi-bin/WebObje...?v180016e.html

somebody please email toyota canada and tell them they made a typo

Don't want no stinking Paddle shifters even if they shift faster than a human can, and don't want a Autotragic either. Pure hardcore gear shift only for me.

iirc that's been on the Canada site since the introduction of the FT-86. It obviously hasn't been updated yet.

Bloody de-motivational posters .

The concept has a 6spd manual. Maybe just a typo ?

That is from THEIR website so no automatic visible.

I remember watching a video about the FT86 and they clearly said they are gonna keep it a 6MT for drifting. Drifting or not, 6MT is the only way they gonna make the sales they wanna see right?
