I'd love to get one with the manual trans, no doubt. BUT, where I live, there is only road system where I'll get decent use of it. The rest of time, my left leg be aching from 1st-Neutral-1st-Neutral-1st-Neutral-1st-Neutral-1st-Neutral.

So, while I'm hopeful that we'll get the manual transmission, I'm also hoping that we get the beefed up 5-speed Automatic. I'm torn.

But... I'm hoping the option is there.
