I bought what is likely my last new manual trans [AWD, turbo] car in March.
Mostly because the auto companies were rumored to be about to cease sales of same in the US and it’s now tough to get a manual trans, turbo [altitude compensated], 4x4 puckup.

With today’s auto trannies there’s no practical reason to buy a manual. The new automatics get better gas mileage than manuals I think. Also no need for clutch overhauls.
