I'd assume it's because Nissan's AWD system is built around the cvt, and they don't see enough sales of manual equipped vehicles to justify making it work together. Realistically, I'd be surprised if more than 15% of Juke sold have manuals. It doesn't make sense to split that between two drivetrain types. Which royally sucks, because that would be a fun little car.
