39 cars available with a manual trans

Do you like manual transmissions? Do you like annoying slideshows? If you answered yes to each, click that link.

Mostly I think the selection is predictable. They omitted trucks on purpose I guess. I am embarassed for GM that the CTS-V no longer makes the list, especially as that was a signature during BMW's luxury era. It's embarassing because the BMW M6 is left standing. After all that.

Also, this is funny.
Subaru Impreza
We know we’re supposed to like all manuals—this roundup serves as an upbeat reminder that you can still buy stick shifts, after all—but the Subaru Impreza's five-speed is difficult to recommend. The shifter flops imprecisely into its gates, and its ratios aren't optimized for the boxer four's narrow powerband. We actually recommend the optional continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Seriously.
Which reminds me...no Crosstrek? Did they get rid of the manual? Eh, I don't care.

5-speed? It's 2019.
