I was just wondering...

Are 99% of the cars in USA equipped with automatic transmission? You're really excited now that you're finally getting IS300 with the stick next autumn...

I saw some of you (who post messages here) haven't ever even drive a car with manual transmission.

I think it's closer to 80-90%. I read somewhere it listed % manual by car, and one of the highest in US was BMW 3 series at 40% stick. the IS300 is predicted to be 10% manual.

I have always had a stick car until the IS I would like to get a Manual but they are not makin it in the SBM... I really like my color so I will prolly keep it

I'll never own anything other than a manual. Call me a purist...

I can drive manuals just fine, but I prefer automatics. Ya ya, I am a lazy ass so what?

I really wanted a manual. Had to buy an Auto since couldn't wait an extra year.

you're not the only one dood. but I probably have to wait longer since I know it will be hard to bargain the first few months of its release and I hate giving dealership the satisfaction of raping me by paying MSRP for their cars.
