Definitely interesting.

The expected increase is unknown, but I would be surpised were it be 
more than a few percentage points of current.

That doesnt match the stat trend. The number of manuals does not appear 
to correlate at all to the overall number, which varies from a high of 
88k to 35k, more than double.

The manuals vary from 1700 to 750, but the 1700 comes from a month of 
44k automatic, contrast with 816 manuals from a month of 88.4k
