"Cadillac is introducing a new ultra-high performance CT-5-V sedan in early 2021 called the Blackwing that will feature a 6-speed manual transmission."

As of last spring it was true, we will see. But what is so telling is what every article says, "..a 6-speed manual pairing will give this model the distinction of being the only vehicle in its class with a manual transmission." So not one other manufacturer thinks they can sell enough manuals. Plus I bet sales are so low, that the manual is discontinued in a year or two. "In a statement provided to Road & Track, a Genesis spokesperson confirmed the manual G70 will be discontinued for the 2022 model year. The company says it sold around 100 examples for the 2020 model year (around 0.8 percent of G70 sales in 2019), and couldn't justify continuing to offer the transmission as an option.
