Was not a joke. People vote with their purchases.

Manual transmissions account for just 2 percent of all vehicles sold in 2018, according to data from Edmunds.com. In 2006, 47 percent of new models in the U.S. were offered with automatics and manuals. Now it’s down to 20 percent and dropping sharply.

That number dropped to 1% for 2019. The vote happened .... you lost. Odds are over the next few years the manual trans will vanish altogether.
