Another nail in the coffin for manual gearboxes: Toyota Corolla manual deleted

EXCLUSIVE The manual transmission option is about to be discreetly dropped from Australia's favourite passenger car – a model in which many motorists learned to drive. Hammering another nail in the coffin for the stick shift, the Toyota Corolla – Australia's best-selling passenger car for the past eight years and an icon among first-time drivers – will lose the option of manual transmission from next month.
