You can't really blame the car industry... it's the consumer. The new generation of car owners are not like the last and don't care as much about a MT. If there was enough demand then they would build it. That isn't to say there are still people who want a MT car but the numbers are dying.

Not sure how someone ordered a Lambo with a MT... I didn't think it was an option on new cars?
