Toyota: Do new Celicas have automatic trnasmissions

Can we trade? In the US it seems all we get are automatics. Even though
the web sites and catalog list the manual transmission as standard with
the automatics as an option, you can't find a manual transmission model
on the dealer lots. Some makes/dealers even say they can't/won't order
one with a manual transmission.

That's cos Americans can't drive the 6speed manual without wrongly shifting
from 6th to 2nd (instead of 4th) and blowing the engine )

However, it should be possibly to import a Jap Auto Celica in the UK no
problem. Although I'd guess that most that are imported are manuals.

Jase, I could go out and spend a few dollar and buy a Celica, and I'll swap
you - the only variety that are available here have autos. Which sucks, the
Celica is a SPORTY car, it needs a STICK!

Then we can swap! Both RHD... easy. :-)


Nick.

In the US Toyota list the Celica as available with an Automatic 4
speed, a manual 5 speed, a manual 6 speed, and one listed as a
Automatic S4. Most dealers tend to stock automatics because that
is what the vast majority of buyers prefer. Toyota list
manual trannys at less than 10% of sales.
