       @arichtman :menherawave: > In 2000, six out of 10 new vehicles sold in Australia had automatic transmissions.> Last year, it was 9.8 out of 10 and so far in 2026, it is closer to 9.9.> Fewer than 4,000 new manual vehicles have been sold nationally since the start of the year, compared to more than 359,000 automatics.guess I'm never getting a new car huh
