Default S5 Manual Transmission Discontinued in Europe

I just saw this over at Autoblog. Is this old news that I've missed?

This is shocking. I can see them discontinuing the manual tranny in the US, but not Europe! I guess the fuel economy issue trumps all.

I gotta belive that those of us with a V8 engine and manual transmission are sitting on a car that is destined to become a classic!
