They seem to only discuss the 5 speed.

Looking at those interior pics does it look like the driver and passenger seats are different?? I wonder if that's just for testing, I wonder which seat they are putting in, if indeed they are different?
Maybe I'm just going nuts, I was hit in the face with a tennis racquet earlier this evening!

I want to like it more.
Needs more chrome,
I'm not a blackout sorta guy. Arm rests, only in the auto. I guess they know we auto folks are kinda lazy
Gotta agree, the back needs a bot more of.... something.
I'm betting the aftermarket will have a great time with this car
I'll go for a test drive, but boy, that 25 HP hit on the automatic kills it for me.
My guess they'll only have the standard shift for tests anyway at my local dealer.
It's kind of like with my SHO. Ford kept blowing up automatics with the engine . It took years until they got an automatic in the SHO . I drove my standard for twelve years.
My last standard was with an '05 Vibe and it was the worst manual experience I've ever had. No sort of positraction when one wheel spun, the other just sat there.
Now, I only really want automatics.
Oh well.
