You're just repeating your upside down argument: "Thousands of potential Honda Civic buyers are waiting 2,3, 4 months for their 6MT because nobody wants manuals." Fuckin ridiculous.Imagine a Honda dealer that received 100 Civics - 50 automatics and 50 manuals. On average, each Honda dealer sells about 1 Civic per day. Think about how long it will take them to sell the 50 automatics. 6-8 weeks, perhaps? Probably. Now, think about how long it will take to sell the 50 manuals. In this case, "if you build them they will [not] come". The people don't want manuals. A number of us "enthusiasts" do, but we represent a tiny segment of the general population. There's your answer as to why there are so few manuals.
Let's look at one of Honda's competitors. Does Mazda make 6MT for their Mazda3 hatchback? Why yes. Yes they do. They make these manuals that nobody wants for all three trim levels. Can anybody that wants a 6MT Mazda3 hatchback find one to buy? Why yes they can. Fuckin ridiculous.
