Just read an article in USA Today that stated that only 6.5% of new cars sold in 2012 were manuals.
It really might be just the case of Porsche following the market trends just like LED running lights and bluetooth. as nostalgic as it is for Porsche cars to have a manual tranny , the average consumer doesn't seem to want to buy.
That being said, I prefer a good manual myself.
