In the end, I found this interesting. Both AT and MT are losing ground to CVT and AMDC. Of course, this is Global sales so it is definitely not the view in North America.
From an fuel economy and emissions standpoint there is not much that can beat the newer CVTs. A tranny that doesn't make the engine have to climb in revs to hit the next gear has an impact. Wouldn't be surprised to see them totally replace the old school AT designs over time.
