No, I was only talking about the BRZ (since that is the car being asked about).

I was actually wrong. It's not 60:40 for the BRZ... it's actually 70:30 in favor of the manual in the US. I think it will be similar here, as well.

Many BMW lines don't offer manuals in the US. The Camry offers none at all. I think the Accord still offers it because it's seen as a sportier choice, especially in Coupe form.
