I think they would understand the concept of a driver's car more than some people on here seem to.
No one is belittling anyone, it's just a difference of opinion on the matter. Sales of these cars seem to be proving that it's not a very narrow market. My personal opinion though is that the car should have only been offered in manual transmission, not unlike the S2000. It weeds out all the people that want something "cute" that they can commute in and think they're a race car driver while doing it, and offers the car up to people to truly experience everything the car has to offer. Call it what you want, but there is no arguing the simple fact that an automatic car is not a driver's car... As far as you being saddened by it, grow some balls and stand behind what you believe in. Why should other's opinions affect you?

opinions are like a**holes,everyone has one and they all generally "stink!"
that said,i have driven both and i can tell ya,you are still a man with balls if ya drive the ''slush box",because the japanese did a wonderful job with this tranny,tons of fun,and "still" handles AND drives like the great little sports
coupe it is! it would appear you are trying to provoke an argument over some silly ass fixation with sticks!.why? (maybe you consider the stick as a"phallic" symbol?) mine's a "slush" and i love the f**kin' thing,and i HAVE been driving "stick" for over 40 years! the car is a "fantastic" driving machine with ''BOTH" transmissions! period!
