Hmm...maybe there are a lot of 4-speed Miata drivers wanting to upgrade?

I just don't see how the handling characteristics could be the same in an automatic. I want to change gears when I see fit and not when the automatic transmission does. For example... I can't see an automatic changing down for you to control your speed and traction as you set the car up on the entry to a tight corner.

Calm down everyone. This news did not come from the top inside janitor at Honda. So it may not be true after all.
