Virtually every dealer ordered car has it because it is a tie in with the so called "preferred package".
On the '07 987S I just ordered, I bagged it and ordered a sport steering wheel and crests in the headrests for about the same money. Who needs it in an open top car.
P.S. If you don't order it, the button which usually says "auto" will say "max."

Hi,
Basically I agree. I also find it a bit profiteering of Porsche to have offered the
Auto as Standard (US Market ONLY - supposedly to create better value/price) for the 986 and to pull it back on the 987 - AMAZING!
As you said, I suspect that 90% of the cars will have this option, primarily due to Dealer Orders, and some Nazi decendant is gonna make a € Bonus because he figured out how to make an additional $550/Unit Sold for basically nothing!
Someone said "more back to basics" - BS! I doubt the
Auto system weighs 1 pound more than the standard one and doesn't affect performance 1 iota...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
