Please NO! Mazdaspeed vehicles have all been manual transmission only, and in my opinion should stay that way. Why make a performance car, only to remove both performance and control from the driver by using an automatic?an auto speed6 ...

To be completely honest...i wish i had an MTX but i decided against it because i live in an area with tons of traffic. It would be way too tedious driving in the traffic with a manual. Some people like the speed, but just dont live in an area where u can truly appreciate a manual.Please NO!

IMHO There is no place where you cant enjoy a manual.

auto's are proven to be faster in certain cars and for the mid 30's crowd who is over shifting every 10 seconds while in traffic, it's what the consumer as a majority would want. otherwise, audi, bmw, infiniti etc. wouldn't offer it.Please NO!

The general populace isn't known to be intelligent either.

Perhaps faster in a straight line, but Mazdaspeed cars are built to go around corners too. For that, I want the control of a manual transmission, and I expect most performance drivers would agree.auto's are proven to be faster in certain cars

you're talking from a pure "tuner" driving point. for 90% of people, they don't want a 6 speed manual. i'm saying if they made an auto option they'd sell more.The general populace isn't known to be intelligent either. No one ever went broke underestimating the public.
If you want to drive a car, you need a manual. Otherwise, you're just along for the ride.
