They sort of do though. Look at all the new ferraris, lambos, mclarens, etc. They are all come standard with auto boxes. Albeit boxes with paddle shifts.

That's bollocks mate. Automatic licenses are for people who can't drive, but auto cars can be for people who just want an easy drive. The whole point of luxury cars is to cover ground comfortably and easily, and that's why luxury cars almost always have autoboxes. I've had around 15 manual cars and now have an auto, does that mean I can't drive?
I think everyone should have to learn in a manual though

This! Unless its for medical reasons.
Sorry srowell but that's rubbish. Auto boxes are in a huge array of cars for various reasons!

Ive drove one or 2 auto's prefer manual myself although the tiptronic is pretty epic rev it all the way to the redline and it changed up for you
its all down to what you use the car for and what your used to tbh everyone will have different opinions on them.

as far as driving them around the yard at work you really can't stall them unless its fooked or low on trans fluid. my dads got an '02 toyota avensis verso 2.0 VVTi auto and average mpg is around 22mpg according to the trip computer from wood green to hendon every week day and thats sitting in traffic too, he hardly boots it unless a knobber tries to cut in last minute
