The dual-clutch automatic trannies have become so good these days that there's zero advantage (performance, fuel-efficiency, etc) to rowing your own gears.
Other than it's heck of a lot more fun, that is...
Not all millennials are the same. I've been driving manual since I was 16. Bought a new car 5 years ago, also manual.Very sad, but a sign of the times.
Millennials must find it too hard to work the radio, text, drink a coffee, and shift gears all at once...

I have the final year manual wagon. It was not much more expensive than an auto, but it took me a few months to find one that I liked. I been keeping an eye on the used market and manual a4 wagons don't go for a premium. They are rare because very few people wanted them and very few people want them now.Looks like the used market with manuals will hold their value or increase in the later years, especially the special editions....
Watch them skyrocket in the next 5-10 years because you simply won't be able to get anything close enough if you want a manual AUDI.
Unfortunate that future generations will never be able to have a modern AUDI with manual gears.... although that might introduce tyranny swap kits xD
I think the only exception to this are the Civic Nation Ricers.
Honda will always offer a Civic with a stick. Forever.
Very sad, but a sign of the times.
