Well, as one counter-example, because there's far too much data to dig out of the aether, as far as I can tell there are only two manufacturers selling manual pickups: Jeep and Toyota. No Chevy, Dodge, GMC, Ford. That's just one huge gap. Update: also, if you extend that to SUVs, one of the hottest markets, I think the only model you add is the Ford Bronco. So there are no entry-level pickups or SUVs as manuals. For CUVs you could probably add Kia Soul and Mazda, but not much else.
