Nice comprehensive list, good job! A couple of small changes I believe (US, I don't know about Canada):

Subaru Impreza (all models including WRX and WRX STI, excluding GT)
VW Rabbit (2dr only)

Thanks, what's the GT model? We don't have it here.

Only the 3 door VW Rabbit comes in manual? Man VW is really in love with that DSG crap. In the 2008 VW City Jetta brochure (City Jetta iand City Golf is basically a MK4 Jetta/Golf that they still sell in Canada, the styling is refreshed tho), they said:

(In 200_, 56% of VW sales in Canada were manual transmissions. It seems like none of them have tried our new DSG transmission yet.)

Wow, so I was just having a conversation with a buddy earlier today about how I would never buy a Mercedes because I couldn't get one with a stick shift. I had to hang my head in shame and retract that statement after seeing this thread... has that always been the case that the C class had available manuals? I swear there were a few years where the U.S. market Mercedes were exclusively auto. Actually, thought the same thing about Lexus, which I see is also on this list...

Did the Dakota's class change? It has always been compact/mid-size. The Ram is Dodge's full size pickup.

What about the Audi S5. They come with a six speed manual as standard right now. Does anybody know if they are changing this?

I didn't realize the GMT900's had deleted the manual option. Looks like Dodge is still going with it on the Rams, though.

You forgot both cars Saab makes.

The 9-3 and 9-5 are both standard with a standard.
