In Ontario, Canada, they're majority autos, but I managed to find a local standard to test drive. I've ordered my 5-speed SS in Victory Red. Now to break the lease on my LT 2.4.

Interestingly enough, there were very few in Ontario, but about 17 of them in Quebec. Seems like the Quebecers are a little more passionate about their HHRs.

The most common package being sold in Ontario (dealer order) is:
- automatic
- Pioneer sound upgrade (not standard in Canada for some reason)
- sun roof

Explanation - most people don't want standards anymore and they love their stereos and sunroofs.

The standard vs auto market in performance variants is an old one. The original Taurus SHO suffered in sales because it only came with a 5-speed manual. When they added in the auto, the auto sold more. Eventually the 5-speeds were not even offered anymore.

 

I know of 2 manuals for anyone near Columbia, Maryland. Win Kelly Chev has two black ones.
One has black interior, LSD, 6cd stereo, enh speakr, side air bags, sun roof, roof rails, perf seat, smokers pkg

Other one has black/red interior, LSD, 6cd stereo, enh spkrs,
