Why can't I get a car with manual transmission

I will offer my personal observation that long term financing with generous ‘upside down’ loans gives the new car buyer a great deal of leverage to buy their ‘dream car.’ And for most, the dream car has all the bells and whistles and automatic transmission. What would the dealers offer if financing were limited to 80% loan to value with 24 month terms and recourse was limited to repossession.
