J0N this is why automatics out number manuals in the US by at least 3 to 1. It is getting harder and harder to get vehicles with manual (many models don't offer it anymore). The US laws take a lot of the fun out of driving. So most Americans drive point A to point B :(
I drive a 4 spd manual and a 6 spd streetbike ;) I love manual but driving just isn't as fun in the US (I've driven in many countries).
