Same here in the UK - automatics are rare. Automatic transmissions tend to be found to be found primarily in "luxury" cars in this country. One factor may be that European cars generally have smaller engines than American cars, and automatic transmissions are normally not very efficient for cars with small engines. There's also the fact that the automatic version of a car is generally rather more expensive than the manual version.
