Err... What on earth gives you that idea? Look at where manual transmissions are most common: high-end sports & performance cars, most of which are about as far removed from economy cars as it's possible to get. I would imagine most of the manual transmissions going into lower price range cars are for much the same reason: buyers who want control rather than "convenience".
