All cars used to be manual shifting, and automatic transmissions were a luxury feature.
Americans Humans are lazy (I have a Roomba and Neato), and not shifting a gearbox is easier than shifting one.
The manufacturers don't push autos, the consumers do.

I just installed the pro version of Torque on my phone after having smashed my UG in the door jam. Can't say I miss the UG anymore...
Smart phones can be had for $10 new, and the Elm237 can be purchased for less than $10, so for less than 20 bucks, anyone driving a 1996 or newer car can have a fantastic gauge.
Good luck Xist!
