By and large, Americans want what they're told they want.
But I'm with you on the AT thing. I won't own a diesel with an AT -- with the
possible exception of the Mercedes ones, which still require about $5,000 worth
of work before the engine ever requires any work.

The white man seeks to conquer nature, to bend it to his will and to use it
wastefully until it’s all gone and then he simply moves on, leaving the waste
behind him and looking for new places to take. The whole white race is a
monster who is always hungry and what he eats is land. -- Chiksika
