Perhaps it's someone on this site with a LCI Silver E91 RWD with a 6sp...in Connecticut.

As I said, they're out there. (and particularly present in some parts of the country)
Roughly 500 sold in the US. For sure, if you want a 6spd wagon, New England is your happy hunting ground. We cheapskate Yankees knew a good buy - the stick was $1200 cheaper until 5/2011! And foregoing AWD saved another $2K or so. We New Englanders don't need no steenkin' AWD to get around in the snow. Though that said, mine was the ONLY RWD 6spd wagon my dealer in Maine ever sold, but they sold decent numbers of AWD 6spd wagons.

I get to drive mine in a couple of weeks, as I will be in Maine for a few days.
