I just referred to Wikipedia and you're right! It looks as though it wasn't sold to the USA market, only in Mexico. I'm not sure if this still introduces any concerns related to wiring or the ECM - these are parts of modding cars that I've always steered clear of in the past, but I'd be willing to learn.
I definitely plan to look into this further though!
I've always preferred driving MT; If I were to optimize things with the auto, I'd have to teach myself all about torque-converter lockups, tune and/or mods to change shift points. It sounds interesting I would probably enjoy figuring all that stuff out, but at the end of the day I would still have an automatic transmission.
