that's good to know, but i still dont understand why GM would give you a 5 speed option on the 4 cyl, but not the 6.

Emissions regulations and certification. Also the probability of how many would actually sell in comparison to the auto.

was GM afraid of MAKING money? I know i would have bought a 3400 5 speed over my auto anyday.

you would have, but the other 90 percent of people who bought aleros brand new wouldnt.

perhaps, but it would have opened up another potential group of buyers, I.E. the people that bought v6 Mustangs/Camaros may have opted for this vehicle due to its lighter weight, better power to weight ratio.
