MT cars not entering Japan

My husband routinelyIn Germany, you can choose a manual transmission version of the car, but in Japan, you can't." "I like the XXX car, but I don't need it because it's a PDK car.He often says.

I don't know much about that situation, so I thought "all 911s and sports car type Porsches can choose MT", but apparently that is not the case.

Therefore.How many models in the lineup currently listed on Porsche Japan's official website offer the MT option?I looked into it.(researched on July 17, 2018)

Only 11 of 58

Porsche Japan's official website currently has 58 lineups, butOf these, only 11 models are "those with a choice of manual transmissions".It was. Below is a summary of all the lineups, of which the models in red are those that can be selected for MT.

In summary, it is as follows.

I think I understand why the Panamera, Cayenne, and Macan don't have manuals, but the 911 is an all out GTS system!(I hate to say "wiped out" but...)Also in Japan, theIf you want to drive a new convertible (MT), you must necessarily choose a Boxster.I guess that's what it means. I also found this article on the net about Porsche manual cars.

I think it is a great accomplishment that Porsche has kept MT alive in the new generation 911 after 7 years, and yet the importer has included it in Japan. (omission) Even though there is talk of upgrading to a 7-speed manual transmission like the PDK, the ratio of MTs in the 911 in Japan has been insignificant since the Tiptronic. Now that the PDK has evolved again, I am amazed that they kept the MT for the Japanese version.

Well...if it is written like that in 2012, we should be happy that there is a choice of MT-spec 911s in Japan, even if there are only a few at the moment.
