Source? And automatic is not 'new'
It is new in Europe.

Ok, I accept your source and facts, but it will decrease in the next 15 years because of the rise of electric cars anyways.
My dad was driving automatic Jags back in the late 1970s, but he did work in the motor trade. I am seeing more and more automatics around but I still think manual is king (at least in the UK) for the time being. If nothing else, you can save some fuel driving an auto!
