Is my 2017 Yaris SE w/ manual transmission extremely rare?

I am a die hard manual transmission guy afraid that one day they won't be available, at least here in the US. Back in April I ordered a 2016 Yaris SE from the factory with a 5-speed. It had to be an SE. They initially said 6 weeks. Apparently the build factory in France does not supply the US market with SEs with a 5-speed, so they say. After countless Toyota reps contacting the factory and a whopping 9 months later I received a 2017 model. Yes it took that long and the next years model to get one. I specified the two-tone Barcelona Red and Piano Black combo. Really like it so far. I keep searching the internet to convince myself that I may have the only one like it in the country, is that possible??

As a sales manager for a Toyota dealership, I can confidently say you have one of the few (if not the only one) manual 2017 Yaris SE, let alone in one of the two two-tone color options (just fyi, it's not Barcelona red, but ruby flare pearl with black sand pearl).

I searched the entire country's inventory, and not a single one is on the ground or in transit, and only one dealership has one in allocation (build status).

With all that said, congrats, and take care of her. She's quite a rare ruby (see what I did there? lol). Enjoy that lane departure alert, I find that really useful.

Barcelona Red versus Ruby Red Pearl

Interesting comment you made Kaotic Lazagna as the actual window sticker says "Barcelona Red".

If it really is 3R3 instead of 3T3, then you have a mistake car, which will make it even more rare. 3R3 is not listed in any of my product information guides. Post up pics of the car!

209 is Black Sand Pearl and 3R3 is Barcelona. So far Kaotic is 50% correct.

My personalized license plates have been ordered UNICORN, actually had to shorten to "1CORN" since Wyoming only gives you 5 digits because of a county designation number and the famous bucking horse.

So cool.

I saw that color combo at the OC Auto Show. The year prior, the guy at the Toyota booth didn't even know 2-tone was going to be an available option

You have a confusing car. That color combo was made for the 2016 MY. 2017 has the ruby flare combo. That makes your 2017 even more of a unicorn.
