I would agree with your assesment of the utility but for a near entry level
sports car that could be considered a luxury and seeing how much pressure
S-T was under to keep costs down they needed more justification for including

30+ years later, we Triumph enthusiasts are not under the same pressure.
Which explains why the percentage of cars with overdrive transmissions has
skyrocketed.
