One requires nothing extra in terms of structure, rigidity, crash testing...the other adds weight and removes cargo space.

As much as I hate to say it manuals are dying. The only advantage they have now over automatics is fun. I see why Ford and GM are cutting them out. Not only do manuals offer less performance but how many people under 35 can even drive one? I would say less than 10%. I know people in their late twenties and early thirties that cant even ride a bicycle much less drive a manual.
