What are "the states" in this context?

Probably meant "outside the states"?

It's really quite difficult to find a vehicle newer than say, 2000 that has a stick shift in the USA.

A normal vehicle, you mean. There are still a number of enthusiast models that have a manual option, or in some cases (e.g. WRX STI, or Camaro SS 1LE, to name a couple) only come with a manual. For appliance cars, manuals are rare indeed. I think the new G70 from Hyundai has a manual option, but I don't think it's on the higher end model. Unfortunately that's been a trend for quite a while -- when a company does offer a manual, it's never available with all the rest of the good options, you can only get it on a base trim.
