Maybe it came to cost and overstocked 6speeders.
While I've always thought it was a cost-savings thing...

Not talking about the overall size of the car...but of the tunnel, etc. of the unibody. Word is it doesn't fit when paired with the longer 6.

Someone with access to both should measure from the engine/trans part line to the firewall.
