They don't sell because people can't buy what isn't being made!

The test is to pretend to shop for a bargain that's been on the lot
too long. My truck for example had sat unsold for 8 months because it
had a 4 cylinder engine.

In 2001, I bought a basic 2001 Subaru Outback Sport for dealer cost that
wouldn't sell because it didn't have an automatic trans.

In 2007, I bought a loaded 2007 Subaru Outback Sport SE for dealer
cost(and paid LESS than in 2001) that wouldn't sell because it didn't
have an automatic trans.

Too bad my knees are telling me that an automatic trans in my future.
