wranglers are probably the highest percentage of 5 speeds among american cars, i'd guess...
we usually stock 60% 5speed
I find that pretty impressive -- more than 50% stick on a vehicle. Not bad and a little encouraging. I wonder what it is about the Wrangler (or the type of person that buys them) that allows for more manuals than autos.
and i've always wanted a 5 speed minivan
You're not the first person I've heard say that. A number have looked down at the mysterious third pedal in my car and noted that they wished their van was a manual. I guess a lot of the vehicles used for hauling wouldn't have a stick on purpose, but a van? Why not? Then you could have the long, schoolbus-style stick. Oh, baby, that'd be sweet.
