Historically, Corvettes and Miatas have had only stick shifts.

The only car I know of that is available strictly as a manual is the BMW M5... I don't know what you mean by the MAIN stick shift cars. Lots of cars come in either manual or automatic. Like the other poster said corvettes, miatas etc are common as a stick because they are sporty cars which are more desired as a stick shift. Probably any car that is sporty would be primarily found as a stick shift. However the automatic trans is so convienient that you will probably find most every car is available as either auto or manual...

A manual transmission (also known as a stick shift, straight drive, or standard transmission) is a type of transmission used in automotive applications. Manual transmissions often feature a driver-operated clutch and a movable gear selector, although some do not. Most automobile manual transmissions allow the driver to select any gear at any time, but some, such as those commonly mounted on motorcycles and some types of racing cars, only allow the driver to select the next-highest or next-lowest gear ratio. This second type of transmission is sometimes called a sequential (manual) transmission.
Manual transmissions are characterized by gear ratios that are selectable by engaging pairs of gears inside the transmission. Conversely, automatic transmissions feature clutch packs to select gear ratio. Transmissions that employ clutch packs but allow the driver to manually select the current gear are called semi-automatic transmissions.
