February 8, 1999, on Acura NSX Review:
RE: Automatics and Manuals I know that cars such as Porsches, 'vettes, NSXs, Ferraris, etc... should be bought and driven with Manuals and that the Autostick, Tiptronic, Sequential sport shifts etc... are NOT real F1 style tranny's (as possesed by the F355F1). But these cars are EXPENSIVE to develop, and manufacturers need to move as many of them as possible to recoup development costs, so here's some stats to keep in mind: 85% of all Corvette's sold are autos, Ferrari expects sales of its 456 to double now that there's an auto available. Remember guys, when it comes to making cars, the almighty buck rules, and you should be thankful that manufacturers still feel justified in making cars like the NSX at all.
