Wait, what? Infiniti Q50 with manual!

My last manual was a 6-spd... '08 Audi RS4 Cabriolet:

Redline was 8,200 rpm

Remember the North America market BMW M5 E60 with the V10 was offered with a manual transmission. Europe only received the SMG transmission. The VW Golf R was only offered with the dsg in Europe as the manual take rate was 5% versus 48-50% in north America

Interestingly the US spec M5 was launched with SMG only and it was so poorly received that BMW was left scrambling to test and launch a 6MT option for US only. The uptake was around 12% for that model.
