But it won't be sold here. On a 1 or a bit iffy on the 3. Could you talk to Sime Darby guys please. When they brought the new Tiburon in, it had spec sheet of a 5 speed manual tranny. But they will only offer the auto. On a coupe? I don't get it. Why would anybody drive an auto Coupe at the Hyundai price range? They said that they offered manual on the older Coupe but nobody liked it. I told him coz the dashboard was a bit alienating the driver. He couldn't suck it in. At least it make sense.
