Want proof? They had a lot of stuff to think about at the time so it's no wonder stuff you see on Mazda6/Sonata/Accord/TSX/Altima/Legacy was not present on the 8G (or 9G). Granted, Mitsu USA believes a standard 5 spd only belong to less than 10% of the owners in America but my niece drives a Hyundai Sonata with 5-spd and my dad drives a 6 spd Altima. Less than 10% my ass!
