Do any German CUV's or SUV's have an option for a 5/6spd?

OP... wanna know what car blew me away, if you wanna get a manual german car...
the golf R... WOW! what an amazing car for that price! I highly recommend you go test drive it. Even the GTI, extremely fun! I almost bought one off our VW beyonder sales guy. and I will in the future if I ever decide to get one.

The woman wants a german CUV that's manual.
I'm about to break her heart.
Really she was hoping to get a mercedes/bmw cuv/small suv type of car in manual. We spent a bunch of time in europe recently and she fell in love with glk's.
She currently drives a 335 xi. Manual.
I might have to work her into a DSG car. I really want a DSG car.
Thanks ya'll.

I think manuals in that segment as ultra rare as most people that buy these things don't want to row gears...
As the list posted by rage true manuals are a dying and are not offer very often any more cause the take rates on them are sooooo small

I pitched the tiguan based on your research jws.
She said she'd rather a Q5. I argued that they are essentially the same car. Thanks for the tip though. She might have to settle with that if manual is truly the only option.

Especially for the north american market.
With that said, I'd estimate that it was nearly a 60/40 split for manual/other transmission choices from what we saw in Italy. That is what makes this shopping experience such a hard pill for us both to contend with.

A Tiguan is basically a Golf that's been lifted slightly. It doesn't offer any appreciable increase is room inside for passengers/cargo.Originally posted by redline

A Tiguan in manual is also just FWD. I think that's the same layout with an X3 with a stick.
Cayenne?

Depends on the car. Economy cars, sure, but for SUV's and luxury cars, the take rate is still mostly automatics.Originally posted by R154

Even the Panamera had a manual option in Europe, and nobody bought 'em. They sold something like 20 lol.

The pre-2011 X3's had AWD and a stick but were pretty rare. I believe they only came in the 28i model.Originally posted by flipstah

Get a wagon version? #closeenoughOriginally posted by R154

If you want to get real serious, through some coilovers on and raise it a bit

We saw lots of diesel GLK's, Q3's and a couple Volvo's (not german, I know) with a sticks.
Shes going to go test drive a GLA for the DSG transmission this evening. But she is really still wishing for a manual vehicle.
Might end up pushing her towards a wagon?

Because used cars in Japan are worthless and sold dirt cheap, while similar cars from Europe are a lot more expensive relatively speaking.Originally posted by Sugarphreak
I always wonder why we don't see more cars imported from Germany here... they have KM/H speedo's and the steering wheel is on the proper side
