The reality is that in countries where automatics dominate, manual cars are usually $5000 more expensive than an automatic.

One huge benefit of automatics is that they reduce congestion. It's a proven statistic that changing gears takes more time in stop & go traffic, therefore traffic congestion in Europe is actually much worse than in the US with the same a mount of vehicles.

I am a big fan of classic emergency vehicles. One day, I hope to own and take a beauty like this to my local auto show.

This is a 1991 Chevrolet Caprice Classic (police model).

If you could own any car ever made, what would it be and why? Mine would be a McLaren MP4-12C because that has been my dream car for a long time. Also they are really fast and have a nice design to it :)
