Basically what I see (and its not just this post or this forum): if you do not have a third pedal you are not driving a real car. None of those aforementioned cars have a third pedal and thus must not be real cars.
It may technically fall within that spectrum, but it's not an auto in the conventional sense. I don't feel a car has to have 3 pedals to be a "real car". Hell, I'd take a Porsche or Ferrari with a proper paddle shifting system any day. That being said, the auto on the twins is not anything like those. On this car, the manual is the only way to go for serious drivers.
