Can't we just agree that people buy the same cars for *gasp* different reasons?

Yep, total package, including the body of a Renault Alliance with a cowl hood and park bench spoiler, and the interior of a 76 gremlin.

I love my AT in my daily commuting - especially if there is traffic jam

While comparing the 8 to others cars many take in the entire package because most of us didn't buy this car for it's acceleration. Many things came into consideration...styling, handling, interior.

However when you compare the manual to the auto, the auto has the same handling, styling, interior. The only difference is the acceleration, so thats what gets compared...

manual or auto.. its a slow car in a straight line. The only reason i see people getting the car is for its looks, great handeling, 4 seats and a great price tag.
