From what I've been told, there are no plans to make the TL-S a manual.

Yep, no 6-speed for TL. The reason why they did it on the CL-S is to help its sales.

I am still holding out hope that they will...but the chances of them doing it fall between slim and none.

If you want a small, sporty sedan get that. If you want a big, luxury car get the TL.

Exactly, the TL is already sell well so that's why it is only offered on the CL Type S, to help its sales. If they put the 6 speed on the TL, how are they going to sell the CLs?

Sales are actually pretty bad so far in 2003 and have been since the end of 2002. It is showing its age.
