Absolutely will have automatic. Like some of the other guys said without sales of automatic FT-86s we won't have any FT-86 to drive because it'll tank. The unknown factor is what kind of MT or DSG transmission the car will come with (standard or optional).

While I love the fact that my S2000 only came with MT, making it that much of an enthusiast only car, I'm pretty sure that Honda could have sold a lot more if it was also offered with AT.
