it's a chore, plain and simple..
everywhere bar the USA a MT is just associated with low-end, low-spec cars that the original owner was too tight to check the an AT box on
it's now just turning into a cultural thing, and US is the last bastion where it's 'cool' to own a manual... it's distinctly uncool round my neck of the woods that's for sure!

In AUS they only custom factory order our BMW's in manual, and even though they are cheaper, we end up paying more because "it's a custom factory order"...
Total nonsense, but it does mean we're forced to customize our manuals just the way we like them.
Imagine a world where to fully option load a manual 135i coupe w/ppk it takes $100k USD...
