I agree, Dave. Note well the RWD only configurations for many of them. Manufacturers pair AWD and automatics to reduce the market for the manual.

I'm surprised at so many available models.

But how many are actually stick and not DCT paddle shifters.

I have two comments about this topic.
The first is back in 1998 a long time friend of mine decided to trade in his Ford Explorer (four door) (with every option available at the time, including power captains chairs) XLT with a manual transmission (one of only two that I have ever seen) because it did not have the towing capacity to tow the new boat that he wanted. At the time he lived in Columbia, Maryland, which is between Baltimore and Washington, DC. He advertised in both the Baltimore Sun and the Washington Post for over a month while his GMC Yukon was on order. He never got a single nibble. One night he called me up when the dealer informed him that his new vehicle would be delivered on Thursday. The dealer offered him $6,000 for it. Knowing that it was worth more than that, with the +1 tires, Bilsteen Gas Shocks, and upgraded IPD front and rear sway bars. He knew it would get wholesaled and shipped to the south, it was mine if I wanted it. So, we wrote him a check and drove it for another 100K+ miles. Perhaps the best $6K dollars I have ever spent.
My second comment is more current: As our Honda Fit Sport has a five speed manual transmission and living in the Washington DC Metro area. I have learned to really pay attention to my rear view mirror when starting out from an intersection. As so many vehicles are hybrids or have CVT's. I can not get across an intersection without shifting into second gear. About twice a week I almost get rear ended by the vehicle behind me that is not expecting me to shift.

Out of 4 cars, I've got 3 sticks.
We jumped on out BMW 335xi because the boss and I like sticks ( and our grown children drive them).
All of the "Manual" auto trans I had were slow shifting gimmicks.
BUT- the paddler shifters I've tested work very,very well as shifters and are getting better
The classic stick transmissions are functionally obsolete but are more fun ( and are good theft prevention)

We have all manuals and the only “other” we ever owned was an EVO X with a Dual clutch transmission. It was a very fast car with paddles, up/down on the selector or just let the car decide. After four years traded for Joanne’s BRZ because I felt I was not in Control and we had visions of the expense when Mr. Mitsubishi was not paying for all the computers that controlled the magic.
