I like computers in cars, they make them some amazing things. One thing i found about the gtr are the driver stereotypes. Jalopnik couldnt have said it better.

My friend is a nissan salesman and had to deliver a newly bought GTR to the new owner's house.
Lets just say my good buddy let me take it for a spin before delivering and I also followed it in my RX8 for a while. Or tried to follow it haha.
The GTR is a beast!

I doubt the Crustang was even mentioned during the whole engineering/production process. You think Mazda was concerned that they'd lose some of their market share to the RAV4, and so decided to throw some back seats into it? Completely different classes of vehicles. Also, you may be one of the first people to label the GTR as overpriced. Congratulations.
sadly, the Auto only feature is the least of my gripes.
Its like a guy at Nissan said we want a Muscle car. I can picture the conversation now.
Guy1: We need a better muscle car
Guy2: what about the Z?
Guy1: Nah, lets make that Sportier, lighter, handle better, and make something else and make it fast
Guy2: Ok. How about the old Skyline GTRs, those used to be fast?
Guy1: meh, but they were awesome sports cars. No sports car this time. Just speed... we could use the name though.
Guy2. Lets Bore out the Z engine and slap some turbos on it and call it a day. That will beat mustangs for sure.
Guy1: All Done. 2 tons, 2 turbos,2 differentials, its a winner.
Guy2: but this car handles like crap, its so damn fat.
Guy1: Thats cool, lets just get some computers to control it
Guy2: Like a Mustang with a brain.
Guy1: Thats right... a Mustang with a Brain.
GTR... a Mustang with a Brain.
