Hopefully there is a 0% chance of that happening. If it came in automatic(I'm including dual clutch transmissions in that category) I would not buy one. If they started selling both I would be upset too because it would likely lead to them eventually phasing out the manual.

My first car was a used Ford Escort station wagon and it was an automatic. My 2000 Civic Si was my first manual and new car. I got used to it after a couple of days, and I haven't bought an automatic ever since. I hate automatic transmissions, and I'm also not a big fan of modern dual clutch...

I HATE the fabric they used for the arm rest areas! It's like it's made of loofah spun into threads. I've had the Si for only about 2 weeks and they look terrible since they basically take off and absorb the top layer of skin from my arms. It's not like I'm grinding my skin on them either...
I've had a few wranglers and I loved flipping the forward section of the top back on short trips. Even when I had a hardtop version I bought a "sunrider" soft top section to replace the forward panels so I could enjoy nice days.
But that being said, the experience was completely different...
