There will always be a group that will want a manual trans. But that group seems to be getting smaller and smaller as time goes on.

In the past, the three main reasons to buy a manual were: greater durability, more gas mileage, and more fun. New autos have all but done away with the first two. Laziness is working on number three.

I've gotten pretty lazy - I haven't had a manual vehicle in about a decade (last one was a '67 Mustang that I sold to make room for the 2009 Z I had).

I should have not said laziness but "multitasking" while driving, I see so many people paying more attention to their phones than their driving..hope they don't find themselves in jail or prison..

At least in my case, "laziness" is dead on accurate.
