What do you mean one? You've made it perfectly visible you are against anything that betters fuel economy, horsepower, practicality & anything of the sort if it means a couple less cylinders.RE: manual vs automatic transmissions - this is one area where I'm actually straight up opposed to any sort of advancement or development.
The world would be a better place if development of automatic transmissions had stalled out completely back when they were all useless 4-speed boat anchors that wasted gas and caused lots of horsepower to get lost in transmission. I've said before that manual transmissions - especially in mainstream cars - will die out if the people who don't really care about driving don't have any pragmatic reason to buy them, such as saving gas or just making sure the car can get out of its own way if need be. Looks like it's happening to sports cars too.
TL;DR automatic transmissions must suck so normal people - commuters, people who bought a fast car just to show off, teenagers who'd rather take public transport anyway so they can continue to txt while moving from place to place - will have good reasons not to buy them.
We would still be fighting the cold war & stuck with black & white television if people like you had any authority.
