Manual and automatic both have thier advantages and disadvantages. Manuals (typically order models) hpget better milage, better for towing up hills, and can be more reliable.
On the other hand automatics are great for bumper to bumper traffic. Anyone who lives in a big city with many hills can appreciate a automatic.
I haven't driven a manual in many many years. Suffered a bad leg/knee injury out of highschool and just can't take the constant up shift/down shift when I use to live in city.
Not only that but people see a car rolling back a little during a red light and for some reason they want to park within inches of your bumper at the next red light (especially on hills).
The economy gap between manual and automatic has been shrinking rapidly in the past few years. Who knows might be a time when automatics get better mileage then manual (humen error and riding a shift and all).
