The decision is easy.
This. I just don't understand the logic of not offering a manual on something that's supposed to be a sports car.

The automatic is faster? Great. What's the point of going fast again? Oh yeah, because its fun. The ultimate objective is fun, not speed, when it comes to sports cars.

(Supercars are another matter, i get why the latest and greatest Mclarens ferraris and lambos only come fast shifting paddle gearboxes, like it or not, those cars are sold to people with impressive acceleration numbers and N-ring laptimes.)

And i get why you'd OFFER a sports car with an auto or a DCT, some people will use the car for commuting, some people can't drive stick and some people even genuinely think that the latest DCT is more fun and engaging (i don't understand HOW They can think that, but i'm not here to judge)

But not even offering the option to have a shortcut to smile town is just bizarre to me on a sports car. I couldn't be more disappointed with Toyota as a former Toyota owner.
I feel like you are missing a whole demographic of DCT drivers.... those who want to get the best times at the track and AutoX possible....
