I think you guys are simply over looking the whole driving experience. Its not simply how many techniques you use to achieve your shifts but more so on it all feels and connects, which this car has on either transmissions. We cannot simply base the whole driving experience on engaging and disengaging a clutch, that like saying sex was no fun because you didn't do oral.
"extract the full potential of a true "driver's car"" I'm sorry but am i the only one here seeing that as pure bullshit?
What full potential? What drivers car? What makes this a drivers car? I could call a Honda Accord a drivers car if i bought it in MT, thats what your turning it off as.
What about all the cars without a clutch, all those modern automated transmission, are they not driver cars?

Considering there's always been an emphasis on managing all aspects of the vehicle to extract the full potential of it, I'd say it's a driver's car. You don't buy a MT Accord as a performance vehicle do you? The Twins were always marketed as a return to a lightweight, RWD sports car.
There's quite a large difference between a $25000 sports car and a $300000 Ferrari with a dual clutch unit. While the Twins' auto isn't bad, the car was truly made with the MT experience in mind. If you refuse to see that the MT is the true enthusiasts choice, then the point of this car is lost to you. Considering you're comparing it to an Accord, I'd say it already is.
