Thanks for the info. I hope you're right.....and that the manual transmission and the hand crank windows stay available on a 2015 USDM 3-door L.

3 generation old engine and transmission.

I realize some consumers feel this is a negative, but I feel it enhances value per dollar and reliability....two important attributes in this market segment
