I would like to know what percent automobiles manufactured I recent
years have manual transmission? I would like to find out about
American (Ford, Dodge, Saturn)  and imports (Toyota, Honda) as well.

"According to Neil Oddes, Product Research Manager with J.D. Power and
Associates, only about 7 percent of new cars and light trucks in the
U.S. have manual transmissions. Eleven percent have manual/automatic
"manumatics" (such as Audi's Tiptronic), in which the driver can
choose full automatic operation or to push a button to select a gear
with a computer making the shift. There is no clutch pedal. The
majority of cars, 82 percent, have traditional automatics, and about 1
percent have continuously variable transmissions, or CVTs. CVTs are
automatic transmissions driven by an infinitely adjusting metal link
belt that replaces gears and keeps engine performance at optimum.?

These are total light vehicle sales (in millions of units) of domestic
and import car and trucks broken down by automatic and manual
transmissions:

MODEL AUTOMATIC %* OF TOTAL MANUAL % OF TOTAL TOTAL SALES

1985 10,021,482 77.6% 2,887,171 22.4% 12,908,653

I'm not sure if you are asking what percentage of vehicles have manual
vs. automatic transmissions or if it is available on an option on what
percentage of vehicles.  Without doing any research, I can tell you
that nearly every vehicle manufactured has automatic as an option and
scovel gives you the percentage that are purchased with that option.

oops, i meant that nearly every vehicle has manual as an option, as
most come with automatic as standard
