So the word “stickshift” has been scratched from Car and Driver’s lexicon, replaced with the European term “manual gearbox”? Looks like they want the stickshift to be killed.

I learned on a "manual" that wasn't a stick shift, a 1968 Dodge Dart with three on the tree. It's still my preferred manual transmission, though anything with that configuration hasn't been available new in the U.S. for four decades now.
