Nope. Manuals were available late in 2002. The autos didn't arrive till Feb. I know cause I had ones of the first autos delivered, and I had a manual XR8 to test drive in december. So they 100% were building and delivering manual xr8's in 2002. Although the xr8's came on line later than the 6 cylinders did.
They usually start delivering cars to dealers before the actual published release date, that way it gives them some time up their sleeve if they have any issues.
