when bimmers started introducing those lines on their cars 
then koreans copied it..
then low end j-cars copying that trying to win back the poor. 
i like accord sedan cause it has modern flat and sleek design.
you seem to know a lot about them.... 
 i absolutely hate slow AT cars. those sportshift modes are a joke with its slush torque converters. |
You might have a point there with age demographics. And
on the sport
sh!t modes in small hp cars.

I've driven the Toyota Vitz in PR, Mitsubishi lancer, Suzuki Fuego, mini cooper old mazda rx7 from 80's honda civic crx and Corolla. All these cars fairly low hp with manual transmissions felt like beasts on those mountains.
I think it's what those cars are made for. The terrain in Asia is extremely similar to PR. I've driven the auto versions of some of those cars in PR mountains  |
some of the cars you mentions were meant to be manual. Their auto counterparts were golf carts in comparison. especially cars like the mini cooper, crx, corolla.
