we've been fed a trillion excuses. Tada has said shifting feel is too compromised for transmissions that can hold as much as torque as they need, he has also said they are worried that offering a stick would hurt the 86 because that is apparently what differentiates the two
and pretty sure I read that they didn't think a stick would help with the driving experience...
