I verified with another dealership, seems no manual for the 2017 CX-5's. Not that this can't change in the future, but it won't be available for 2017 models (verified by two dealerships, one of which reached up to double-check with their representative). I'll have a 2016.5 Manual in my driveway by nightfall! Can't resist the idea of rowing my own gears and (occasionally) getting mid-30's mpg on my highway drive to work.
For what its worth, the auto gets better mpg than manual.
