If I am buying a car that is sold as a performance sport car, yeah I would like to know its Nurburgring performance. You know, that tells about "engagement" of the "sports" car with the road. I don't need that clutch to engage with my car ... anymore.

So because you only care about Nurburgring lap times and don't like driving stick anymore, Toyota should only offer the Supra with an auto? Why not just let people get what they like and you just be happy with your auto?
This reminds me of when Porsche tried to pull the same crap with their gt3 RS and caught such flack for it they realized they misread the market and created the 911 R. Except the reasoning is even more ridiculous in this case because it's just a 335 hp Supra, not some car that's legitimately going to light up the nurburgring lap time board.
