The funny thing is,you can't find (at least from the factory) an auto STI,but you can find them on the WRX.



Same goes for previous generation ZR1's. No autos there. Sure,you can find them on the other models,but not the ZR1.



Now ask yourself,or GM for that matter,why they didn't. The answer is quite obvious.
