I understand it's reasonable for Honda under economics of scale to have focused on an automatic-only 2nd-gen since it ends up catering more to urban drivers who benefit more from a hybrid, but maybe if they had retained the manual as an option it would be somewhat easier to convince some die-hard manual advocates who are hesitant to take a hybrid because they're mostly automatics.
