Just admit most of you can't work out how to use a manual.
GM & Chrysler popularized automatic in America starting in the 30s l, meanwhile manual remained the norm in Europe. Mercedes-Benz didn't offer automatic until the 60s. By then the preferences were already established.
It's not about preferences, it's about manuals having been able to make far more use of limited displacement and torque until very recently.
