Wow...unfortunately that number seems surprisingly high to me.

When I got that manual Camry, it was the only non-automatic on the lot. And that was 22 years ago. I would think these days that one-sidedness would be even more pronounced, but maybe not.

One of my kids told me that he's heard young drivers refer to automatic transmissions that have shifters in the center console (like that old Skylark) as "stick shifts."
