JG66ME - Why no manual.......?

A few years ago a friend bought a new Falcon BA Mk2 XR6 Turbo...manual. He had to get FordOZ to build it, as less than 5% of Falcons are manual (so he was told).
Sign of the times......big cities/traffic, people lethargy, modern auto boxes much better than old, keep low stock holdings, etc etc.
.........Us 3-pedal drivers are a dying breed.

However, having tested the Mazda6 diesel 3-pedal manual, I'm almost inclined to go auto given the narrow rev range (for us spirited drivers).
And...suffered a rental Audi 1.9TDi-e 6-spd manual for a weekend...and Die it did on every hill.

And the Mondeo is still a low-volume import. We won't go into the reasons here (again).

Bring on the best of everything, more is always better <grin!!>
