I believe it's a typo/error.

GM went through a miserable phase of not pairing manual transmissions with their front-drive V-6s (probably still in that phase for the most part).

In '95, I could get a manual 4-cylinder Beretta, but at the time I wanted the 3.1L V-6 with the Level-II suspension. Automatic was the only answer.

I later traded it on a '90 GTZ / Quad-4 (more power than any V-6, lighter, high-feature content).



Great idea, great car, poor implemenation. We all know what happened to those wonderful engines.

That's when I bought my first Honda. The rest is History.
