yeh, i just read this stat from BestCar (j-car mag) that 92% of all cars sold in japan in 2001 were AT's. there are a lot more sports-matic type AT's available in japan than in the US which makes it more exciting than a typical AT like on the p11. although i like the p11's AT for its smoothness...but the gear ratio sucks.
MT's are cool for what they are, but if you're not that good at MT and dont plan to practice, just get an AT. my shifting becomes pretty sloppy when i get tired. hehehe.
