Manual Transmissions
Has anyone ever seen or done a survey on the number of owners with manual transmissions? My 2009 purchased in June was the first manual transmission my dealer had ever ordered. I have only ever seen two others. I was never able to drive one before placing an order, although I did drive a Cobalt with a 5 speed I believe was a Getrag as in the HHR.

Yeah, there aren't too many MT drivers anymore.
When I bought mine (used), there were a lot of HHRs in the area, only a few with MTs, and only two or three with the options/color I wanted. I ended up driving 100+ miles to get mine.

They are out there, but not in big numbers. When I was looking, the local dealer had two five speeds on his lot, both had been sitting for some time. I offered to take one off his hands, and after some negotiating, got, what I considered a great deal on my 2007. Little over 14K out the door. Guess they wanted to move it. Had my choice of silver or silver, chose silver.

Here is a link to a poll I did about this exact topic last year.

Classic had a few, and to their credit seems to be the only Chevy dealership in my immediate area that has the warewithall to have manual transmission vehicles on the lot to sell. Mine of course, is a stick.
