modern ones? yeah, you won't have many choices left if at all. enjoy it while you can. no, i don't like it either...i absolutely hating driving automatics. properly driving a manual is a joy to me.
fortunately, if you're rich, there's always going to be niche manufacturers or special models that command a premium. then there's an aftermarket that supports certain older cars or provides manual swaps.
people who actually pay money for new cars don't drive manuals anymore. and manufacturers probably love it, because autos are better at being efficient now. i don't know if its either because less people are driving, or "just wanna go fast", or because its viewed as too difficult while you're texting your BFF Jill, but you can't sell cars to people that aren't there.
