Default stick

i just purchased an automatic transmission is250 couple of weeks ago and before putting down a down payment, i researched for a while and wanted a manual one, but at every dealership, they had none in stock....how come???? the reason why i wanted a stick was cause i really didnt like the wood paneling...and driving stick makes me feel more in control of the car.... anyone else have this issue????

i figured the paddle shifters would be cool, but didnt notice how delayed they were in shifting from gear to gear
