That's only 12k (and that's a far stretch) for a whole year. I just don't see how Nissan would get the go ahead from Carlos Gohsn to approve a new manual trans for those numbers.

I guess for those of us who have a 6mt, we'd better enjoy it.
Why wouldn't they sell a manual? It helps lower the price of the car. I don't think Nissan cares about how many manual cars they sell. I always thought one of the selling points of the Z was price and if Nissan still cares about that selling point then they will still offer a manual.
