XE isn't available with a manual either. Both it and the Giulia were initially promised as being available with manuals, but neither are.

Can we narrow the list to sport /performance sedans? I don't think anyone here is buying a yaris or Kia Rio

The Yaris iA is actually a Mazda 2 underneath. It's really fun car. I might buy one later this year

Also, CTR is hatch only.

In case no one else mentioned it, Honda will let you buy an Accord with a manual gearbox.

(Un)fortunately I did (company provided). It's okay taking it to work and back. I have had it for 7 months but rarely drove it in the past 2. The 6sp is nice but the engine is so under-powered, only 105hp!

I understand what you mean but it's a perfect commuter car for me. Also compliments my TT RS very well. Both ends of the spectrum.

Also, I think it should've been a hatch. Makes more sense as a hatch.

Thanks, yep. I was thinking that the MT was going away with introduction of the all new 2018 model, but it's the V6 and the coupe that are done - the manual stays for at least one more generation.

Incidentally, this leaves the ATS-V as the last manual V6 sedan standing in the US. Of course, you can still get six cylinders inline in the 340i and M3. Aside from those and the V8 powered M6 GC, which will be gone soon enough, eveything else left with four doors is a four cylinder.

It seems we are probably less than ten years away from MT sedans basically being hold outs in the entry MSRP game for compact and sub-compact economy cars. Although, it might also go the other direction where those all die in the next few years in the name of fuel economy, and we are basically left with the Si, NISMO, GLI and WRXes.
