No flaws in my thinking. You can still easily buy a manual in the US... just fewer of them out there. Any person with any knowledge on auto repair knows a manual transmission is lower maintenance, much, much more durable in the harsh conditions such as deep snow and mud... and more efficient. I can run circles around any automatic transmission including a Prius in fuel economy with my 5 speed manual 1992 Civic VX. I average 65 mpg... not bad for a car built n 1992 that I bought in 2002 for under $500.00. Bam!
