I would guess 75% Automatic, 25% Manual (or even less).

Companies (like Toyota) are phasing out manual transmissions (you can't get one in a 4Runner) as Americans get lazier and lazier and require more input from their small brains to operate their cell phone and laptop while driving, instead of shifting.[/b]
Yes, I can't find a manual tranny in about half the new cars I'm looking at.

But I drove the 5-speed before I got the automatic. Piece of junk. So spongy, I was never really sure I was in gear . . . maybe I just got a bad vehicle to test drive?

The transmission in the 5-speed Xterra was really not too nice . . . the three-speed in my Jeep feels so much more responsive and accurate . . . (damn, I gotta get that thing running . . . )
