Europe is still predominantly manual transmission:

Looking at a rental company in Germany their example cars include: Ford Focus/Fiesta, VW Golf, Scirocco, Toyota GT86, Mustang, BMW 1, 3 and 6 series, Porsche Panamera etc.

Economy cars no longer have to be dull affairs, just because most people rent a Malibu or Hyundai doesn't mean you have to. I know I wouldn't complain about thrashing a MT Fiesta or Scirocco around Germany for a couple days even if I could only drool at the Nordschleife (ok I would probably complain about missing that).
