I guess its about demand, if most people in the USA can't/won't drive stick then why bother offering it as an option if you're only going to sell a few. Yeah diesels have been big here since the early 90's really when they stopped being quite so tractor like. In France its even more so as I would say 80 to 90% of people drive diesels and diesel fuel is a fair bit cheaper than gas over there. Here it used to be until the robbing oil companies realised that the new generation of 50mpg+ vehicles was going to hurt them and its now more expensive than gas by a few pence per litre.

 

I would have autos for all my vehicles if I was more patient when looking to buy vehicles. Not long back I owned 3 vehicles, all were petrol, 2 out of the 3 were Auto....

hi all,got a leak driver side window i think its coming in window seals not door as it seems to lay around my switches,ie mirrors, window and cental locking. what shall i do any suggesting i mean anything very welcome. cheers H

 

If it is laying near the switches the door hinge pins and bushings most likely need replaced. My USDM blazer did the same thing, bad rain storms or auto car washes.
