And since GM likes to try to convince us all that Pontiac is now BMW I should also point out that pretty much every mainstream BMW can be had with a manual transmission.

GM has made one more decision with not having a M6 in the GT. But I am sure many will still buy ecause it is a very good value and the interior is nicer than my goat.

I always though the better mileage in the manual was the lack of torque converter. Oh well I didnt think the GT would get a manual because of the whole DOD/AFM thing. I am 100% sure thats why it isnt getting it because that itself will lower the MPG.
