I'm sure some cars will retain the manual transmission as an option. I really think that cars like the Sonata won't have many buyers that would want one. I can barely stomach driving an automatic now.

I drive an auto but I learned to drive a stick. I think when you take drivers ed you should drive a stick not an auto car.

I refuse to own anything with an auto or even a quasi-auto (flappy paddle gearbox).

My first 2 cars were manual. Love it except in traffic...

Then I bought 3 autos. The fun of driving disappeared.

Now I have a Cooper S 6-speed and LOVE it again.
