The roadster segment is sadly dying, however, Porsche will gladly sell you a Boxster and a manual transmission regardless of trim or engine.

My take is that BMW is underestimating demand here. I think they could sell a sufficient number of Z4s with 6MT to make it worth their while. But you're right about the Porsche Boxster being a good choice for those of us who want a two-seater convertible with 6MT. I'd just prefer to have a BMW.

I just wish they would have made a Z4 M! That would have been awesome. The new Z4 is a great roadster, but in my opinion, proper roadsters should have proper transmissions, and this one does not.
