A survey sent out to Subaru customers asks if they might be interested in a new manual SUV.

Even with so many manuals disappearing over the past few years, some companies endeavour to keep the manual transmission alive. Subaru is one of them. The company still offers manual options on its BRZ and WRX, and now it may be gauging interest for an entirely different manual-transmission vehicle: an SUV.

According to the company, 'Mazda's driving philosophy remains the same.'

StopTech, one of the pillars of aftermarket performance brakes, is ending its run, alongside Raybestos and Centric.

A Subaru double-cab Ute could prove to be a perfect competitor for the Ford Maverick.
