I'm a millennial no matter how you slice it.
Not every car I've owned has had a manual transmission, but the one time I bought new, I made sure to mark that box. They actually had to trade for it from a dealer out of state, as there were none around. (It's just a Kia Soul, but it's still more fun with three pedals.)
I also rented a car last fall for driving on the Autobahn. I reserved an Alpha Romeo Guilia with a manual transmission. Instead I got a Citroen C3 Picasso as the "similar" car and was told that it would be another 800 euro to change it. Needless to say, I'll never again rent from Avis/Budget. At least the minivan was still a manual.
