As for a manual I recently read somewhere that autosales across the board in the U.S. manuals only represent about 5% or something like that of all passenger vehicles sold. The mass market just doesn't want them. It's not that people don't wanna shift is the fact they don't wanna have to push that clutch all the time. That's the main reason for the tap shift. By the way the Endeavor has a manumatic I just didn't get the same enjoyment out of that as a real manual.
