i am acually amazed how many cars i see at work with manual-autos, granted the only real differance between that and a regular auto is the programming in the computer and a different shifter pattern, but seeing as it is still fairly new techonigy and the majority of the population i know can't drive a manual, i am suprized it is a standard option on many transmissions. besides the only two times i really tested the manual shift mode, i wasn't to impressed(both cars would shift 1-3 if you shifted near the redline in frist)
