Sports cars should not come with automatic anything. It defeats the purpose.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."

I guess that would depend on how you define the purpose.

Too heavy. At least on the Mk2 Exige/Elise power windows were actually lighter.

Yeah, sure. OK, then:
Let's go ahead and put manual transmissions back in F1 cars. While we're at it, let's go ahead and put carbs, chokes, and cable-actuated throttle bodies and drum brakes back on 'em as well. I'll go on if you need me to ... We go faster because we progress. Auto transmissions, in whatever form, are progress.
