Why?

Because some folks can't drive a manual. Maybe they're handicapped. Maybe
it's for their wife.

And begs the question -- Why? These are "sports cars" after  all -

where's the sport in letting a slushbox do the shifting for you, in

relegating a portion of your control over the car to pre-determined

shiftpoint decisions that were set by the manufacturer?

 

YMMV - but an automatic transmission doesn't fit in to my mental image

of a "sports car".
