I'm going to have to argue with you over they should only offer this car in a manual. Car enthusiasts make up maybe 10% of FRS/BRZ owners, the company cannot afford to make a new platform only targeted towards this 10%. It would only help ensure the car isn't produced for as long, kill the number of aftermarket parts market and limit the size of the community.
Yeah I know, what it can do economically to the cars longevity. Toyota knows by having an available auto the market of the FRS is increased substantially, being known for all its accolades in driving, sharp looks, not bad on insurance because of "4" seater, and in available in automatic!? Jeez who wouldn't want this car? I'm just saying I like Honda's stand on its scene by differentiating there sports cars from the rest.
