And as manuals get rarer, so probably will the number of manual buyers - especially as EVs become more common fewer young drivers will ever even experience a manual.
And of course does resale value really matter that much to this audience? - *except* for bragging rights of course!

Why would you sell when there is no new Camaro to buy/upgrade into unless you are buying another used one (and I'm glad they are still making the Mustang GT but I wouldn't trade my LT1 even straight up for 2024 Dark Horse) - so I'm planning to try to hold onto my Camaro as long as I can!
I have never owned a Camaro with two pedals,including the three in my Signature. A few years ago i bought a Mini Clubman S with manual from a dealer locally, i got a great price they couldn't give it way.. because as a daily driver you would just be slipping the clutch in traffic everywhere. Performance Camaro's are not usually daily'd, but to your point young people can't drive stick, you can rountinely see signs in front of valet places stating " won't park manual trans cars"
