Dear clutch, it’s not you, it’s me. 

Automatic transmissions were nothing short of taboo until the recent past. With the presumptions associated with their efficiency, maintenance and cost, most buyers opt for manual transmissions. However, the traffic situation in India has been getting increasingly congested, making constant clutch operation all the more cumbersome. As a result, autoboxes have gained popularity and a big example of that is the new Innova Crysta as Toyota has attributed 50 per cent of the MPVs sales to the automatic variant.
