I look down on auto drivers with sports cars...because I want sales to be zero, so they are only produced in manual.

What if all cars came with Traction Control and no way to turn it off? It would remove an element of driving.

They could produce every single SUV in the world as an auto and that is fine with me....Miatas, Twins, the ST's, S2000 all should ONLY come with a manual.
I agree with you that manuals are better suited for sporty cars, so we agree there. But nobody is saying you (or I) can't have our manuals.

Letting others who prefer automatics buy them would be no skin off our backs. Why force others to drive manuals when they don't like them?

The Twins are offered with automatic or stick. Everyone can pick whatever makes them happy.
