Manual transmissions make up 70-80% of cars in many European countries. The disparity can’t be explained by availability. More like demand has dictated availability. If it was the case that manuals were so desired then all manuals would be sold out, and manufactures would take notice. This is coming from a guy who has almost exclusively owned manuals. Facts are facts.
