I can't figure out why Chrysler didn't dump the old manifold for their newer version that would make it easier to change plugs and wires for both their maintenance personel and the owner.

The usual reason: It is cheaper.
The goal is not to make it inexpensive to own.
The goal is to make it profitable to sell.

Every one of these annoying little cheap-outs that DC did to the PT will be in my mind when the time comes to replace the Wee Beastie.

Mazdaspeed vs Caliber SRT? Hmmmm.
I may just decide based on which one has less cheap hard plastic in the interior door panels, and which one is easier to service.
