While in the 25-45k price range manual is still very popular, you get much above the 45k price range for a car and you are looking at mostly automatic gearboxes only. Is that bad? No, the auto is quicker than the manual, gives the driver full control, and loses the clutch pedal. You can already see the technology slowing moving downt he ladder, look at the current 370z 7 speed, it is just as good as the manual in shift times and definitely is no "slush box."
