There are a lot of cars that are best in one particular config. Porsche has spent lots of money refining their PDK dual clutch and it's the best transmission for their higher power cars by far. It's just a match for those cars. The 4EAT that Subaru tried to pass off in the WRX and FXT was absolutely horrible and you were an idiot if you bought one of those cars with that transmission. That car was solidly a manual-only car. There are a few that can go either way and as power gets greater, like up around 600hp, some kind of automatic tends to make more sense for engineering concerns.
But a lot of the time, I see a cool car, I ask them if it's manual or automatic. When they say "automatic" I say "oh, nevermind..." End of conversation.
