Yet again, you miss my point..I could give a rat's *** about automatics...I was trying to say that as far as performance goes (manual + turbo), Subaru is the only car manufacturer doing it right now across the line. And that spells performance.

Are 9-5s avaliable with manual? Is the Vovlo XC90 avaliable with manual on the turbo? Or the S80? Even if they would be, they wouldn't be proper sports sedans (not referring to the XC90 here). Even in Aero trim with manual, the Saab 9-3 is a big disappointment.
