Jaguar F-Type
The manual transmission may not be popular, but that didn’t stop the Jaguar from taking its automatic-only F-Type and offering it with a manual.

The six-speed manual pairs with the automaker’s supercharged 3.0-liter V6, which can produce 340 horsepower or 380 hp. The manual is only available with rear-wheel-drive F-Type models. If you want all-wheel drive, you will have to option to the automatic transmission.
Audi A5 Coupe

BMW still caters to enthusiasts with offering a manual transmission on its purest sports cars, such as the M2 coupe.

Aston Martin Vantage
However, the new Vantage Aston Martin unveiled late last year that isn’t coming with a manual transmission out of the gate. Earlier this month, the automaker says the option is a still year or more away. While there won’t be a Vantage available with a manual for a small period, at least the automaker is committed to the at least offering the option in the future. Hopefully, Aston doesn’t’ change its mind by then.
