No, it is a mistake to not meet the needs of your target consumers in a timely and efficient manner. This is a matter of logic, plain and simple.
There are scores of automatic GR86s piled up on lots, while the only stick ones available have absurd mark-ups.
Perhaps, the tone deaf manual to auto ratio is a part of some agreement with Subaru for the time being, perhaps there are issues sourcing the 6 speed manual. Perhaps Toyota is trying to create some sort of artificial scarcity (which is unnecessary given the newness of this model and the supply chain issues for all cars) with the manual for the time being to drive some undisclosed agenda, it just doesn't seem very customer responsive.
