In a recent column, I mentioned an interesting statistic that stated Americans bought more electric vehicles in 2019 than manual transmission cars.

Proponents of vehicles with standard transmissions — a carry-over label from the days when selecting your own gear was the standard of the industry while automatics were something to be highlighted — will lament the passing of the manual shift car as another black mark on society and pandering to lazy, unskilled drivers.
