6MT's in your area

I haven't seen many coupes in my area, west Philly. Seen lots of sedans, but they're mostly driven by old folks who wouldn't wave or just glare at ya for flashing I love the 6MT though... my dealer told me that 1 out of 10 people will get a stick. They don't have sticks sitting on the lot. Most of the time you have to order it in.

I've only seen one other 6MT here in Chicago and it belongs to a woman who parks a few spaces over (on the fringe of the lot) from me at work. I've seen a few with Brembos but when I look in the window I see the auto...can't always rely on the brakes to tell you since you could get the wheel/brake upgrade without the manual.
Personally, I love manual but it is a pain sometimes in traffic. Everytime I get to really open my car up though it puts a big smile on my face and reminds me why I love this car so much.

I live in New York and only 1 out of every 25 or so coupes is a 6MT. I tend to disregard the auto coupes now because they're a dime a dozen in Yuppiechester County. I see very few 350Z Track models either...only about 2 since I got my coupe. No Brembos anywhere......save for STI's in my area and we have too freaking many of those too.

Just like someone else pointed out, I drive an AT because of the rush hour driving/talking on cell/scribbling notes on notepad. There are times when I find myself on an open road and wish i had the 6MT... but the tiptronic is a good compromise. Also, everytime I see another G coupe, I get ready to wave... but they don't even look my way. I think it's the fact that I wear a suit and tie for work everyday. Whenever they wave, it's usually on a weekend when I'm in a T-shirt and cap.

I have no regrets at all for getting the 6MT. There only a few 2005 around here in Sac. that I've seen. On a usual day, I can go by the day w/o seeing any G period. On the days that I do, its usually only a few though. I'm just happy though, knowing that I have a kinda rare car. I love it though, sometimes I would just smile out of no where in my car. Our car is just a sexy beast..I swear...ehhehe

I can only speak for CA, but I think most people here get the auto because of traffic. I'm young and have had auto cars my whole driving life. I was ready for the manual and the more sporty feel of controlling the gear box. When I bought my 6MT in the Bay Area they definately only had two 6MTs vs. a TON of ATs... Luckily they had my black/black 6MT. I love it everytime I get in to drive it. Even in traffic, you just get used to it! I just think it's a demographic thing... age/income/married/where you live
