having had 3 different manual camrys over the years (2 of which were V6s) I can assure you that I'd actually purchase one. My last purchase (an 05 tC) was almost a 4cyl SE manual, but the "bang for the buck" of the tC won in the end...even though I'm not such a fan of 2 doors.
I've had an 1984 Toyota Van LE since it was brand new and it's a stick shift. Only 2 of our 11 toyotas have been autos (mom's corollas). So I assure you I'm not all talk. But as I've stated, I understand that they barely sell any sticks, so from a purely business standpoint, I can deal with it....but it bugs the heck out of me. If they want to give the camry (and toyota in general) a less plain jane image, they NEED to offer some legitimate sportiness. They can't be all talk like Mazda was for a while. Since the Mazda6 came out (followed by the Mazdaspeed variants and of course the RX8) Mazda has made good on the "zoom zoom" part of things. Why can't toyota get into that mix a little?!
