I do, for one.

To be fair, I'm not interested in buying an IS-F, regardless of options. There is no way I'd pay $50K for any car. There are far too many things to do with my money that are far more constructive than spending that kind of dough on a car.

Still, if I purchase a performance car, I want it to have a manual transmission. Manuals are more engaging, and therefore more exciting, than automatics. I may change my mind about that after driving one of those fancy new dual clutch sequential transmissions, but for now I want a manual.
