GUYS! You're MISSING THE POINT!

He's saying the FR-S' and GT-86s are SELLING OUT ALL AROUND THE WORLD! They are one of the top selling vehicles out there and very difficult to get.

English must not be his first language.

Obvious troll, look at what he drives. Btw so all other exotics dOnt fall into that category then since 99% of them are automatics/tiptronics? I think it's time to get your head out of your ass and move to the 21st century. Plus look at all race cars now, all of them are using automatic sequential transmissions.

You can't buy a new Ferrari or McLaren that is a true manual...this car still offers a true manual. Just saying, it's not the end of the world. Be mad that it isn't a true duel clutch, but don't get mad that it's an automatic.

Porsche 911 considered the one of the best sports cars has an automatic
Porsche Cayman has an auto

Ferrari went full auto with their lineup and they're considered the pinnacle of sports cars.

Anymore guys? Lets throw it up for automatic sport cars.

If I had known the FR-S was going to offer an automatic I'd have gotten an '07 Camry!

your comment was. "I see women driving Vette convertible autos all the time. Are they going to use the performance potential of the Corvette? No."

You were in that statement saying that ALL women you see driving are not going to use their vehicles to their max potential. That comment was A.sexist and B. Incorrect.

Have you ever thought some people just enjoy having an Auto because maybe JUST MAYBE they sit in traffic a lot in their commute each day and having an AT is just easier and less annoying to driving in bumper to bumper traffic? I love my MT and would never trade it for an AT and have never owned an AT of my own however there are for sure moments in traffic where i wish i could throw it in an Auto mode and just let the car work for me.

There are for sure girls that really know how to drive and drive hard. Watch your mouth because some of those women are here on this forum.

When he said Supras were no good on the track, I nearly lost it.


I know, I know, don't feed the troll, but I just wanna say, take a stock, BPU, BPU+, or even APU Supra on a track and you will eat your words if you thought the only place for a Supra was a dyno.


The only place for a Supra with a 88mm turbo is a dyno. Or a stretch of straight road.


Got that out of my system! Continue trolling!


PS. OP's statement is pretty dumb.

I guess the OP forgot car companies are in business to make money... the car also comes with auto or we don't get it at all.
