I think in 5 to 10 years the chart will totally flip as they keep tightening emission standards and everything is going towards hybrid electric.
If there's even a conspiracy, I think the automotive industry saw this future long ago and planned to phase out MT and eventually AT in stages overtime. The easiest way to phase them out is to force the replacement tech onto the halo exotics first, changing the minds of the public into thinking what should be best for them.
Yes sports cars and family sedans are dying, it's a vicious cycle seeing how at least here our local roads have gotten so bad in recent decades, cities cutting cost in snow removal, etc. Of course SUV becomes the choice of the day. Gone is the time when luxury SUVs were strictly reserved for the rich.
