On the other hand, it will give people who don't want to work a clutch in stop and go traffic a reason to have the -- shall we say the "approximate" experience.
Again, no one said it should only come with an auto. That would turn off people just as much as it
not having an auto option (well, technically, about 90% of americans drive auto trans cars, so actually, they'd still sell more cars that way...)
Anyway, if they use the Aisin 6 speed AT, they even keep the same gear ratios. The only difference may be the potential speed at which it shifts.
Seriously -- there is no reason for Toyota to take the "exclusive club" path for this car. It's already being designed to spin out of control! At least give more people the chance to have fun doing that
