[Tigers] Manual Transmissions

[Pointers]

We (from Canada) were looking in Scottsdale, AZ for a 350Z for my 18 yo.
Kept seeing them with autos.
Finally I asked one of the Nissan dealers what's up?
Disconnect:
Me: Can't fathom a 350Z with anything but a manual.
Dealer: Hardly ever see a manual.
Reason: Kids learn from their parents, whose dly drvr is always an auto, so
nobody learns how to drive a standard, so don't order standards.
