Request for Question Clarification by scriptor-ga on 13 Feb 2003 11:52 PST

Dear goodgoin,

Could you please be more specific? To answer your question, a
Researcher needs to know:

- to what country your question relates

- what kind of cars you have in mind (sedans, station wagons,
trucks...)

- what countries of origin these cars should have

Regards,
Scriptor

Hello.

A U.S. government document called "2003 Model Year Vehicles" lists the
transmissions for all vehicles sold in the U.S. market.

(The document is in PDF format, so the Adobe Acrobat Reader is  
required. If you don't have that, visit:

To check whether a particular car or truck comes with a manual
transmission, simply locate the vehicle on the list and then check the
first column ("Trans Type / Speeds").

Vehicles with a manual transmission will have "M-5" or "M-6" in the
first column. "M-5" and "M-6" are true manual transmissions. Automatic
tranmissions are indicated with an "A" while the hybrid transmissions
are indicated with an "AS" (special automatic).

search strategy: 2003 "model year" vehicles, "fuel economy" 

I hope this helps.

Just what I wanted.  Not too little not too much.
