Hi....been awhile since I've been here but this caught my eye....I had an '02 Manual Transmission and I am fom Canada. I remember arguing with the dealer here in Calgary that you could get a manual.......they didn't believe me until they tried to place the order. I'm pretty sure that mine was a very, very rare bird....whenever it was in for service (which was alot) someone always commented that they had never seen a manual.
