That's the market.....04 Arc a stick?

Those three pedal cars are hard to get from any sport/luxury manufacturer lately. Rare or special order is the norm.
Old car biz wisdom, "A stick driver can always buy/drive an auto, but the opposite is not true, a stick is only good for 5-10% of the market."
And I see this has been mentioned by someone else, the slapstick/paddle shift 5 and 6 speed autos make a clutch pedal a dubious proposition both for performance and economy and a stick definitely hurts resale.
Is your 04 9-5 Arc a stick? Sounds like it or you wouldn't be so down on the automatic.
