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.
Well considering I don't own a car newer than 1999 I'm not the one to blame. I own at least 10 manual trans cars from 1960-1983.
I didn't vote at all in 16 so you can't blame me for Trump either. My choice won here so it didn't rely equate to anything. That very low percentage is due to it being a percentage of all cars. I'm sure the percentage of performance cars is way higher. I believe someone mentioned 20% of c7 were manual. If there's chocolate and vanilla and only 20% of sales are chocolate, they still aren't going to piss away 20% by eliminating it completely. 1-2% sure.
