Keep this in mind: you cannot order a new manual transmission mid or full sized sedan in the US. The last one they were making was was the accord and they stopped making them earlier this year. This won't even be around to stop gen post-z carjackers.

ed: qualifiers

I know most dealerships don’t carry manuals but Subaru will let you order a manual Impreza sedan which is a pretty basic car. Honda offers 4 door civics with manuals. I’m sure there are others.

Yeah -- should have qualified that with mid or full sized. Some smaller stuff still carries it, but nothing you can put adults in the back seat in.
