I’ve seen other manufacturers put upgrades on MT only. For example I used to own a G35 Sedan MT and it had Brembos but the auto did not. I remember when the Acura TL 2nd Gen cane out it also has Brembos but only on MT.

No help is needed boosting manual sales, the manual accounts for 75% of BRZ sales
