      It’s not just automatics anymore, but also

      • CVTs, especially forneconoboxes that used to be manual
      • electronic shifters, sort of automatic
      • automatic, with more and more gears
      • EVs don’t need a transmission

      The thing is there’s no longer much of a price difference and manual is no longer the efficient choice

      The change is coming for you guys as well. I’ve travelled to Colombia on a regular basis over the past 20 years or so, and transmisión mecánica has gone from nearly ubiquitous to almost exclusively an econobox option. Maybe performance cars as well I guess? Wouldn’t know about those
