I think most would agree with you, but it would be nice for Porsche to at least offer a manual. My guess would be 40 percent of buyers would choose manual. 53% of the 991.2 GT3's have been spec'd in manual even though manuals weren't produced until October.

I believe the only one is the Mustang with their V8 but could be missing some thing

Aston uses the AMG V8 Turbo now and the Corvette is Super charged and so is the Evora

No doubt the .2 GT3/Touring may be the last of their breed but expect the GT4 to continue still with this tradition

I suspect this is due to (1) the performance difference between the PDK 991.1 GT3 and PDK 991.2 GT3 isn't that great and does not outweigh the cost of jumping to the face-lifted model for the majority of current PDK .1 owners, (2) much of the appeal for the .2 GT3 (from current Porsche owners) is coming from buyers who want the MT...first time buyers from other brands (BMW etc.) appear fairly agnostic and most select the PDK for its performance edge and finally (3) you have those playing the investment game...last NA MT GT3 produced.
