This number feels pretty low, and it already factors out all of the G70's 3.3T sales. If the number was calculated for G70 sales as a whole, it would be even lower. Some people may argue that manual G70 sales are low because the Korean automaker chose not to make a manual available on the 365 hp 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 model, which has the performance that enthusiasts really crave. There may be a small sliver of truth to this, but it's not fair to criticize Genesis for offering a manual on only one engine when just 4% of 2.0T customers are opting for it.

Whether it is a mainstream brand like Toyota or a luxury automaker like Genesis, the proof is in the sales numbers. We've said it once and we'll say it again, the only way to tell automakers that people are still willing to drive manual cars is to go out and buy them brand-new. Otherwise, we wouldn't be surprised if Genesis decides to drop the manual G70 due to slow sales. Thank you, Genesis, we now know you at least tried to make enthusiasts happy.
