Neither, but closer to lost art than symbol of past times. There is no respect or regard for nostalgia among the youth of today. This is another facet of the "now" and "me" hysteria that sweeps through our culture with notions of "easier" or "faster" through consumerism promoting laziness and eventual despotism.
There are too many "Honda Accord" men (using that term very loosely BTW) out there now who can't change a tire or change their own oil, who want to use a car as an appliance instead of a driving machine (creds to BMW; that was a good marketing scheme BITD).
Oh, and OP thanks for calling it what it is...a MANUAL, not a STANDARD.

Eh, I'm not sure this is true. I see a lot of youths today embracing vinyl records, 80's fashion trends, 80's and earlier music, and all kinds of vintage items. I think they just grew up at a time where manual transmission vehicles weren't very ubiquitous, so the opportunity to learn how to drive one wasn't there.
