why do people still want manuals? is it 'cool' or something to drive a manual.. ?
my thinking is that whichever is 'rarer' is the most desirable in country x... so that is AT more desirable in UK and Europe, and MT more desirable in USA
but which is 'better'? well, imo, AT is the clear winner.. i just don't understand why anyone would want to bother with a MT.. i've driven one for all my cars prior to my current one and i certainly won't be going back!
