You see the same trend in cars like Corvettes on the secondhand market. I think it's less that 'buyers don't want them' and more that '(new car) buyers are old people and/or women who don't want to shift' -- The evidence you present ie. that it's hard to find 6MT sports cars for sale is true, but your conclusion is the opposite of mine. You're saying they're hard to find because nobody wants them, I'd say its the inverse, they're hard to find because they sell, very quickly.
