 I am thinking it is a typo, otherwise it is a unique vehicle in the US,
 and a great deal for that money. >>

just got back from europe, last week, and saw a few 2WD waterboxers with 5
speeds....yep...5 speeds..
no, it wasnt a diesel...
no, it wasnt a syncro..

any ideas as to why the 5speed wasn't offered in the US???
