Is Honda going to release the manual transmission on the
CRV again ? Or did the manual tranny go away forever ?
Or will the manual tranny come back with the new diesel
in the CRV next year ?

A diesel with a manual transmission option would be great but I can't
see Honda doing it. Diesels produce a large amount of torque which works
really well with an automatic. Throw in the extra certification costs
for another drive train option, the large majority of buyers only
interested in an automatic and you can see why the number of cars with
manual transmissions is diminishing.

You'll have to move to another country, probably not worth it.
