The huge expense of passing emissions compliance. Unfortunatly, it's not just the engine that has to pass. Hopefully they keep the stick - even having it as an option gives the brand a halo of sportiness in my option. I doubt Cadillac makes a dime of the stick CTS models it sells every year (excluding the v). My guess is they don't sell more than you could count on both hands, but it's part of the image they are trying to build for the brand.
