That segment is under 1% of the total sales. They may have success on some models but will not save the MT all on their own no matter how vocal they are.
Europe and Asia aren't making noise because the MT still rules there.


Keep in mind that I am one of the guys that want to keep it alive and will be sad when it is gone.
