Manual trans
ok, when I first saw this vehicle I was like "no not another dorky scion box car" but It has kinda grown on me, considering what you get for the price.
the one thing that attracted me to this vehicle is the fact that it offers a manual trans (what suv has that?), but it appears that it's only available on the base model.... the bare bones nitro - is it possible to order the r/t with a manual?
