What's the point to manual transmissions?

Seriously. This is 2013. We have the technology that lets us be free of having to shift our own gears while driving. Why do people still insist on using old technology in new cars?

  • Love my six-speed manual for a lot of reasons. Double-clutching. Engine braking. Downshift and powering out of corners. Those are some reasons that I like the manual tran on my car. But I don't have a hardcore love for it. My previous car (Dodge Magnum RT Hemi) was better suited with an automatic. I didn't see a need/benefit from manually shifting a boat of a station wagon. The power was there, and I didn't want/need to manually manage it.
