I wasn't implying that the regs were the ONLY reason--it just pushes them over the edge. Maybe if they could just certify the automatic version and then take the same engine and vehicle and swap in a mannual tranny, then it would make sense. But if only say, 5-10% of the vehicles are sold with a manual then it doesn't make up for the additional cost & time required to do another certification.
