I think the problem is fuel economy more than power. MT have been handling massive power for years, but when you have to start adding 8 to 10 gears to a transmission to meet/improve fuel economy people lose interest.
I know I have zero interest in driving an MT with more than 4 or maybe 5 gears in it. When my car has as many gears as a semi, give me a DCT or AT.
