BUT (and this was my point in general) I believe there could be a market for the consumer you called out and that I why I personally think they will offer an auto with the base model to attract those consumers who want to step above the M340 but not invest all the way into the comp pack but have never even driven a manual (much less want to)

Thanks for the added perspective. I actually agree that the 6MT has evolved as you stated. That's probably what the Frank n' Beans guy was trying to get at, but you said it more eloquently
