When ppl in North America bought Porsche 928s, they had the option of auto of stick. Something like 90% opted for auto (which were Benz based). You can see how the Germans drew their conclusions about us. :-) The fact that the latest porsche GT2 has a more of less gutted interior and over 500 hp, and yet, retains cup holds is just the Germans pointing a finger at us and laughing I think. hee hee. ;-) I bet most of those cup holders will get used too.
