Toyota doesn't have a youth segment; no they do, its called Scion and we all own one!

I would never want to hurt or kill sales of this car, because I really do love mine, but my god this shouldn't be offered with an automatic.

I once again tip my hat to Ford with the Focus and Fiesta ST staying 6 speed only.

Even if the car is faster in auto form (new Ferrari's, Lamborghini's, Porsche's, etc) it is not as much fun.
