Scratch that, 2010 diesel Maxima to come with only automatic transmission

Earlier this week it was revealed that Nissan was considering equipping its diesel-powered 2010 Maxima with only a manual transmission, but it turns out that report might have been completely backwards. A new report indicates that the diesel Maxima will only be available with an automatic transmission.
A previous report stated that Nissan decided on a manual transmission to help alleviate turbo lag associated with the turbo diesel, but that decision would go against U.S. consumers’ preference of automatic transmissions.
According to MotiveMag.com, Nissan is well aware of the need for an automatic transmission and will likely only pair the diesel engine with a self-shifting gearbox. However, a manual hasn’t been completely ruled out, although it is unlikely at this point.

They should at least make the manual an option at least.

In Germany I had an A4 with the 1.9TDi and a stick and it was a cool combo.
Mind you that is not the same 1.9TDi that VW offers here. There it did 150hp and had an assload of torque.

Sigh I guess they didn’t have the balls to add a little excitement to the Maxima. How can they have a sports sedan with a CVT and when it was thought that they redeem themselves by adding a manual to the diesel they chicken out???

Ok NoName, not to sound like I’m bashing you because I’m not, but I’m glad you read more than me. I’m sure I have built alot more cars than you’ve probably read about. Anyway, I’m glad you have a few days off from work, but if it was me, I sure as HELL would not be on LLN argueing. Hey, some guys like women, beaches, cars, etc. and other guys like reading about those things.
