From what I know they're technically labeled as "automated manuals." I suppose that could just be since they use a dry clutch(two actually) setup.

The standard transmission is still the cheapest option for entry level cars and base models and even the mildest of sports cars offer a 5spd manual and an automatic gearbox. So I don't think it'll ever go away completely.
