Why no "sports" modes for 7AT?

I will say this, this car doesn't need a sport mode, drive it in manual all the time and you plain just don't need it. I had it in the G and while it worked alright, the G wouldn't manually shift like the Z does. Anyway after I had the Z for about a week I have never driven it in auto. My Porsche on the other hand in auto 100% of the time. Totally differnet tranny (I hate the manual mode in it). The sport mode in my Porsche doesn't change the way it shifts, it changes tuning to the engine. Sport Plus is a launch control. Different from the G altogether. Like stated the Z just plain doesn't need a "sport" mode if you know how to drive it. People don't understand when I tell them you have to "learn" to drive the Z's auto in manual mode. Learn your car and how to drive it and you wont even know it is missing a sport mode because you should be in it all the time. It's the M mode.
