I don't know that you get manuals back. Even in Europe, automated manuals are taking hold. Folks like my Aunt in Austria are the last bastion of "automatics are for disabled and old people" (actual quote).

Even fairly enthusiastic people are tired of rowing their own gears if they sit in traffic; witness Matt Farah.

Maybe I'm not old or jaded enough, or maybe it's been too long since I sat in Bay Area traffic as a matter of course. But I myself haven't tired of stick yet.
