no manual transmissions??

[anysia]

what in the world? there wasn't ONE manual transmission amongst all of the civic's and accord's on the local dealership's lot!!! and they are a large dealer! (there was one civic si mt, but that's it.)

i just went and browsed around for a bit to help my honda withdrawal... i was so surpirsed that there were absolutely no mt's! :eek:

is the interior of the 05 accord's slightly different from the 04'S? something looked different. i couldn't quite figure it out though. :confused:

thats weird how your dealer has no MT's at all except the Si. but my guess is honda shipped them all AT's first because thats what sells. MT's probably sit on the lot for a while, so they want to get inventory that will move first. my MT sedan sat at the dealer for 5 months before i bought it.

the only thing that should be different in 05 interiors is illuminated steering wheel buttons on some models. maybe you've just been away from your accord for so long you've begun to forget how it looks like. :eek:

Same here. Very, very few MT Accords. Maybe 1 or 2 on a lot.

mine hadn't even been built yet when i bought it! but that was because not only did i want an mt, but i also wanted black and with cloth in the ex trim, not leather! i was too picky!

it seems like there was more metal trim in mine i think.... :eek: not sure if that's what it was or not though.
