This is the problem I'm running into. Within a year, maybe two, it'll be time for a new vehicle. Mid-size sedan for our needs - and manuals are just disappearing in this segment. I'm at a point in life now where I can afford and would like to go for a higher-trim model, but in a lot of cases (Honda Accord for example) the manual is only on the lower trims. Other makes have just cut it completely (Hyundai Sonata, Ford Fusion, etc). Hybrid and electric are not manual.
Gonna be a tough decision.
Rock it.
