My sentiment exactly. Converted my 88 Doka to auto with ABA hybrid inline-4 (not that kind of hybrid). Have a turbo 2.2 Subie in the GL. If there was an economical way to turn a Syncro to auto, I'd be there too.:-)

Still have some manual trans cars. It's just there are more and more situations where the auto is the practical solution, IMHO.
