A diesel with a manual transmission option would be great but I can't
see Honda doing it. Diesels produce a large amount of torque which works
really well with an automatic. Throw in the extra certification costs
for another drive train option, the large majority of buyers only
interested in an automatic and you can see why the number of cars with
manual transmissions is diminishing.
