Yes, 5 speed available in...(m) (archive)

A 5 speed is available in both the 2.5 and 3.0 X-types. Also, for the 2003 3.0 S-Type, a 5 speed manual will be the standard transmission. New to the 2003 S-Type will also be a 6 speed auto, the same as in the new BMW 7 series.

Spidermon may not be as closed minded as you think. I don't know what he drives. But, a lot of 'elite' type car drivers act snobby. People still look at me and ask do I really drive a Z3. People that drive nice cars(especially BMW's) act snobby. Why? Well, they spent a lot, and don't want to look like they were the fool in the deal. YES, the cars are great...but, to some extent a lot of cars are. I LOVE BMW's...but, I love old Jags(can you say e-type, or 120?) also the old porsche speedster 356 and 911's, the new Audi TT, the Corvette, Nissan Skyline, 1990+ Nissan 300Z TT, Toyota Supra TT, Mercedes Gullwings...the list goes on and on. Do you own a Ford...well, that is arguable. Really, you have a Jag. It is just the legacy is now in the hands of Ford. What does that mean? That means the company will actually get out of the red, and get back to focusing on what they were intended to do. Instead of worrying about reliablility and cost of production. Don't hate Spidermon. He isn't one of the bad guys. He just represents the otherside of the arguement. Think of it this way: if EVERYONE who could have one didn't worry about the ord name, you would see more X-types than old Volks Beetles on the road. So, be happy that there is another side, that way you can still have an eyecatcher for a car. All of you, ride hard!

Do they make a 5speed?
