Re: why no manual transmission?
Only around 5% of the new cars sold in the US have manual trannys. That
makes the costs of certifying the vehicles for CAFE and the NHTSA,
comparably high for the manufactures. Manual are therefore centered in the
cars sold at the bottom of the market where people who can not afford
automatics are centered.
