Hmm unless you drive standard then you do have three, most Americans drive automatic or semi-automatic.

I can't believe that people didn't know there's standard and automatic. I thought it was this way in every country.

Standard is still pretty common in America.

um....@wiliaso no the clutch is a 3rd pedal. Not sure what you mean by a handle unless you mean the gear shift?

Standard is just as common as Automatic in America but for some reason it has become more expensive to buy a standard over the last ten or so years.

Marketing.... standard is usually part of the "Performance" package.

I'm European. I had to sit on my left foot to keep me from searching for the clutch when I was driving in the US. And here (in the Netherlands) an automatic is more expensive! (I only know old people that have an automatic)

You could have just rented a standard when you were in the US. There are still plenty of them out there. And on the prices, I would guess its a case of the cost of switching things on the assembly line. Easier to just make 100 automatic cars (or standard) even if the price per car is a bit more, because its more expensive to stop the assembly line to change to standard (or automatic).

I didn't rent just borrowed my friends car. And that price theory does makes sense

That's because it's a manual drive... Do people actually not know what a manual car is?
