According to Edmunds.com.

1,005 IS 250s with the manual transmission were sold in the U.S. during 2006, versus 22,090 rear-wheel-drive IS 250s with an automatic transmission and 15,102 all-wheel-drive IS 250s.

Couldn't find anything on the '07s.

That makes me feel special, I think for 07 the number is even lower.

What about 350s?

No 350s were sold with a manual transmission :P

I thought that the original projected breakdown for sales would be:

20% IS350
60% IS250 RWD
15% IS250 AWD
5% IS250 manual

Turns out that it's more like:

30% IS350 (16,070 units)
40% IS250 RWD (22,090 units)
28% IS250 AWD (15,102 units)
2% IS250 manual (1,005 units)

Total 54,267 units sold in 2006.

Interesting...

ummm...because 2007 is not over.

True, but I'd think the numbers would theoretically be available, since the factory is now done making 2007 models......

I also think the number of 6MT models is probably lower for 2007.

I guess any hope of Lexus ever offering a manual option for the IS350 = ZERO . . .

I wouldnt be surprised if they stopped manuals all togeher.

Neither would I, and given the quality of the execution in this application they might be doing a service.

The '07 #s will be even more interesting. Total units sold are close to '06, but I imagine the IS350 #s to be in the 20(%)s. But I'd bet that the IS250 manual outsold the GS430 . . .
