If they are going down the path of car enthusiast and keeping the cost low then why not? Adding an highly sophisticated automatic transmission will not only add price to an affordable car, but would also be a waste of time because car enthusiast out there will never get and automatic.

Not to mention the first drives of the automatic weren't exactly glowing. They weren't bad either, but I don't recall any great words of praise..
