Im thinking if they offered it at all it will be a front drive 1.5 turbo 3 cylinder model only. It will exist ONLY to flaunt the under $20k base price. I dont think it would be too hard to do to implement into the truck. The transmission already exists in the new Fiesta right? (In the rest of the world that is. Ford hates the US car market and canned the new Fiesta here).Would the manual be offered with AWD, or would it just be the 2WD? If it's with the AWD, I'm sold. I will buy the truck.
Oh man, that would be so awesome if it was available in that configuration! I'm not counting on it though.The holy grail is obviously 6M, AWD and 2.0T.
My 2012 Focus is a stick too, which always surprises people. I suppose that makes it a rare bird in the US at this point, and I wonder if it'll demand more on the used market with the manual.The transmission already exists in the new Fiesta right?

Actually now that I think about it yea, they do also make the 2.0 ecoboost in a vehicle with a manual dont they? The Focus ST? I dont think anything in the US uses the 1.5 Dragon with a manual but I know its the new Fiesta ST powerplant so the tooling does already exist for that manual too. Id be so damn excited if they made a 2.0 version of the Maverick with a manual. Neat little street truck with a ton of modability.My 2012 Focus is a stick too, which always surprises people.
