It’s slowly starting to become a lost art though, there’s definitely more and more automatics around, starting with all electric cars.

It’s not just automatics anymore, but also

• CVTs, especially forneconoboxes that used to be manual
• electronic shifters, sort of automatic
• automatic, with more and more gears
• EVs don’t need a transmission

The thing is there’s no longer much of a price difference and manual is no longer the efficient choice

The change is coming for you guys as well. I’ve travelled to Colombia on a regular basis over the past 20 years or so, and transmisión mecánica has gone from nearly ubiquitous to almost exclusively an econobox option. Maybe performance cars as well I guess? Wouldn’t know about those
