I dunno man, it seems to me like we're rapidly approaching the point of the manual transmission becoming merely a specialty item. So many cars are available in automatic-only configurations, especially for the engines/cars worth owning (such as the way Honda does it.....manuals on the V6 only in the coupe, such BS!). And many of the higher end cars are either automatic transmission only or are switching to SMG systems.
Of course I'd be happy with a good SMG, but there still is much fun with a manual transmission. I'm not a big fan of automatics. But I must admit, when driving in rush hour traffic quite a bit, an automatic is so much better......I've seen some die hard manual fans switch due to that fact alone. If that's most of your driving, then it kinda makes sense.
