Many on this site would agree with you, but this car has to appeal to a broader customer base. Not many will see an SS out there and be willing to pay $1000 extra for an automatic then another $1000 GG tax, and still have a slower car than a manual (heavier with more driveline losses). Some? Sure. But there are a lot more that will pay an extra $1000 for an auto and trade a little performance for better mileage, without any GG tax.
