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!
Hold on, one of the most respected enthusiast car mag's in the world, EVO, comes from the UK, and they are staunch advocates of MT...you saying they aren't representative of UK enthusiasts?
NZ has plenty of MT fans too....stop your rampant anti-america generalisations
