My point exactly, you named one company and a subsidiary company. Let me throw in another compnay as well, Mercedes. Now this does not mean that a lot of cars have the option of 6 speeds in an automatic. BMW and Mercedes are not anywhere near the numbers of japanese cars on the road.
Sticks are for enthusiasts, people who like to drive. Take the new Madza RX-8 for instance. The manual has 238 hp, 6 speeds and a 9000 redline while the automatic has 189 hp, 4 gears and 7500 redline.

I drove the Benz CVT in Munich. C220 CDI, not bad. lots of power for a diesel.
