I would love an AWD/6MT, but BMW for some reason is against AWD/6MT. At this point any wagon RWD or AWD with a manual would be a great option. I am still not sure why BMW would not make the G80 Xdrive with a 6MT option?
An insider said it does not drive as well, but who cares, I had an Audi S4 back when they offered 6MT. It was not the best drive during the Summer, but during the winter it was so much fun.
I am convinced the market research for some of these companies is not connecting with their customer base. When Porsche says they had no idea the GT4 would be popular it is a head-scratcher, the same thing with an AWD/6MT truly *motorsport* wagon. It is so obvious to me, that it would be a huge success in sales, marketing, enthusiasm, and momentum for a brand, but nobody will make it.
