I certainly don't disagree with your sentiment. I've only owned one car with an automatic, and with any luck I'll continue to own manual transmission / standard clutch cars for as long as they are available. But with 3 of 4 corvettes coming with manuals, over half of 911's coming with their slushbox (and that's the old crappy one, not the new dual-clutch), and even Ferrari selling a huge portion of their cars with the paddle-shift rather than a traditional manual with clutch, who knows how long they will be available. One of the most tech-laden and fastest production cars on the planet, the new Nissan GT-R, only comes with a paddle-shift transmission; no true manual offered...
