Transmission trivia

Illustration for article titled Transmission trivia

I had not until a few days ago realized that the Honda S2000 was never manufactured with an automatic transmission. Manual all the way, as the motoring gods intended.

My question: are there any other examples of this (in the U.S. market, since other parts of the world haven’t fallen quite to our level of decadence) in recent memory? Are there any other manual-only models today?

Ordinarily when one asks a trivia question one knows the answer, but I have no idea.
