The thing I really don't get is the takeover of the auto in the sports car market.
Yes, it is undeniable that a modern high performance manual will get you around a track quicker, but, for those of us not actually on a racetrack, it is not about that. It is about the challenge of smoothly driving such a car quickly. Any moron can click a paddle, but a proper heel and toe downshift is a learned skill. I had an argument with an on line friend who used to peddle BMWs about how buying an M3 with an auto was heresy. Shifting a BMW is like sex. Why would I want to let someone else do it?
