Toyota of all companies is continuing to offer the manual on the sporty version of the Corolla, and brought a manual to the new Supra after loud and persistent demand when they initially insisted they never would.

Mustang will continue to have a manual with the V8 until it dies, which now may be never.

Porsche has publicly stated no way would they ever stop offering the 911 without a flat 6 and a true manual.

The manual may be down, but it’s not out. In fact there was an article in Road and Track a few months ago talking about Gen Z’s new found interest in the manual transmission.
