this petition is retarded. only way to make a difference is to vote with your wallet.

+1. Automatics, manuals and DSGs all have their places in the world of automobiles. Sadly, auto manufacturers are in the car making business to make money, not to make the 5% of people who won't buy a car without a manual transmission happy.

A great example of this decision making can be seen on the new SHO. Many original SHO owners and enthusiasts asked for a manual option, but Ford ignored them because those people don't have 45k to buy a new automobile, and they don't make up the majority of the car's demographic. The overwhelming majority of people who do have that cash and shop the luxury sport-sedan segment seem to want an automatic, and historically ATX SHOs have outsold MTXs by 3 to 1, so Ford chose not to spend tons of R&D coin on an manual for the car.
