Because it's useless. An auto tC/xB will still be slow regardless of giving the driver an option to manually shift unless it has form of forced induction.

I mean if the technology was cheap for let's say the SMGs like in the BMW E46 M3, then it would be quite interesting since it's technically a manual without no clutch pedal.

cause it would be to exp of an add on and the cars would be slower. with tiptronic you lose more power to the wheels its bene dyno proven on several cars. i think the acura 3.5 i think it was loses like 60whp vs the m/t.
