I saw this posting:

I saw someone with a black CL in the Computer Associates parking lot! Is that person on here? I have to wait a month for my Blue with NAV.

I'll believe it when I see it. Does this mean it will get a hand brake? Someone said they had a car with a clutch and a foot operated parking brake. That sounds dangerous to me. I'd hate to hit lockup the rear brakes at 80mph by accident.

You would hope that they put in a hand brake. If it happens, I would be very interested in the number of manuals they sell vs. automatics.

Does any web site or service provide demographics of car buyers by car type?

I would bet that the 40+ year old buyers would opt for the autos by a high margin *and* the 30 and younger buyers would be the main buyers of the manuals.

(just a guess or three)

BTW -- I also notice that there were a few comments about hoping for RWD too (why not just make a new car...)

Yeah, the Ford Taurus SHO had that. It was hard to hit the pedal by accident though.

I am 40, still young, no x-wives or children. I have a CLS. If a RWD/Manual comes to play, I will sell my Accord Coupe EX-V6, keep my auto CLS and buy another CLS manual. I grew up on manual trannies, I was forced to buy auto, because I hate American cars, BMW's and Acura didn't have any, other than the NSX and Integra.
I'll be the first in line for one ! Sorry Shawn !

Both of my knees were blew out one in football and one wrestling. Unless the clutch is butter soft I gotta stick to the SS. Just give me a lil more HP. If I can get mine down to low 5's then I'll be fine. If not I better hope the clutch is soft!
