Sorry, I meant SVT cars......but your right the Lightning had a AT and the new Adrenalin will be AT.

 

EXACTLY! Even JDM magazines made a point of mentioning that Mazda is the manufacturer with the most manual transmissions across their model line. This is one reason I love Mazda.

No one said that Ford should make the V6 manual only, or ship 50% manuals, but come on... what's wrong with shipping a few or offering a special order option?!

 

Ford just sucks.......They couldn't even make Barry Sanders happy.

 

And thanks for your intelligent and insightful contribution to this discussion.

 

Thanks for replicating every thought you have from "JDM Magazines".

 

.....you WILL be getting the Mondeo, even the 300hp one, but labeled as a Jaguar. Same car, engine, different hood and optional AWD.

You heard it here....

Cry me another river.

Europeans offer a european perspective on cars on the forum. I offer a Japanese perspective. It's just as valid, if not moreso since there are just a significant number of import lovers on this forum. If you can't understand and/or appreciate that... that's your problem.

 

And much more $$$.
