Manuals exist. Autos also exist. Pick the one you want and buy it. If they don't offer it in the car you want, tough shit. Get over it and buy something else.
Manual swaps are possible. transverse and longitudinally mounted manual trans kits exists as do engine adapter plates. You can even get one made if they don't have it off the shelf. If the car you want doesn't come with a manual, do something about it. If you don't want do something about it, then tough shit. Get over it, and buy something else.
Some cars come with both manual and auto. Some people are going to pick the auto. Most of the time, they will be the majority. If this happens to be the car you want, this will have approximately 0% impact on you. If the manual is available and you want the manual, go buy that. If it bothers you that others got a non-manual version of the car, get over yourself. Quit expecting the world to tailor itself to your personal desires, because if world leaders don't get to have that, you sure as fuck won't get to either.
Manuals vs. Autos is a dumb argument. The horse has been beaten into a fine mist thin enough to waft through the atmosphere of any automotive community. Just because you catch the faint scent of this atomized corpse doesn't mean it's time to break out the bats again. Take a page out of Disney's book and LET IT GO.

Shit, you can't even say what your personal preference is around here. I just got told to get lost because I spoke my opinion. Clearly stating it as such, that it was strictly my opinion, personal experience, and my choice....
People need to get over themselves...

Amusing note: wife refuses to drive stick. No big deal, really.
But now she wants a motorcycle, the vast majority of which are not automatic. So now I have to explain the concept anyway ...

It's probably because the whole manual vs auto debacle is way overdone on here. People don't hate you, they just don't give a shit about peoples opinion when everyone keeps trying to assert theirs as the only way.

Didn't you know? Journalism runs on controversy and brainwashing an audience! Get the followers to think the same thing the writers do, then throw controversy into the mix and watch the wolves prowl!
In all seriousness, I fully agree with you.

Here's my beef with it.
I don't care what you drive. If you like it, great. I prefer my cars somewhat low optioned without many bells and whistles. I have plenty of friends who wouldn't go back to driving a car that didn't have power everything.
The only thing that REALLY annoys me is that so many cars come with manuals in other markets that are VERBOTEN here. I know the reasons why and blah, blah, blah. Still, it completely blows that so many BMWs, Volvos, VWs, etc... can't be had with a stick here but can be elsewhere. For cars that don't come with 3-pedals regardless, then that's fine. That's the manufacturer's decision.
