Wow I had a 01 Cl Type-S with automatic (I always had manuals before), I had so many transmission problems (I replaced the transmission three times) I gave up and replaced the Cl Type-S with a G35 6MT. I have not had any problems with the clutch (its original at 93K miles), and works easy as any honda/acura I have driven.

Now Back to Topic:

I would also like to know the sales numbers,(I doubt they will release sales numbers until end of year) only sales numbers I can find are 2006 and it breaks down only the sedan/coupe numbers:

http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/191187

Anybody know of newer sales figures?

While G37S 6MT's appear to be rare, even more rare is G37S 6MT WITHOUT Premium package. I would like to know the numbers on that also.

Anyone have a link with the total number made in 2008 and then the number made with the 6MT?

The local dealer had 10 - 12 G37 on the lot and NOT ONE Sport on the lot. The dealer told me no one wants the Sport. He said he people who buy the car want the automatic transmission.

I dont mind being in the minority because REAL MEN DRIVE STRAIGHT DRIVES!

Seriously thoguh, does anyone know what percentage of G37 with straight drives are made?
When I got my G35 the dealer had 52 G's, only two were 6MT. When I got my G37S the dealer had 35 G's, only two were 6MT.

When I turned in the loaner and picked up the G37S, the business manager calimed it was because the 6MTs were sold right away so they couldnt keep them in stock.

I am not sure if that is true but I know it is hard to get the 6MT with the options I wanted.

I think most people want the AT based on the numbers here. I like the fact that the 6MT are not sold as much personaly.

Someone hit the nail on the head though when they mentioned the Sports Package doesnt have extra HP.

I alwawys will own at least one straight drive but the the increased traffic jams and improved transmissions probably means that AT will become even more popular.

I will stick to being a black sheep!

I hired a lawn crew to cut my grass because I didn't like MANUAL labor.

I have been using a lawn guy for over 8 years and he is worth every penny but I still prefer my straight drive.

This stuff is just personal prference. One is not better than the other.

The only thing I would like to know is the percentage of 5AT vs 6MT in the G37 world and I have had no luck finding it and have been told a lot of disparate info from Infiniti. Surely they release the numbers somewhere.
