I pretty sure the Type R will only be MT...Hope they keep both the Si and Type R manual.......these are fun to drive cars that may not be for people, not willing to drive a manual transmission. Both are purest cars that are meant to be manuals. I recently drove a auto and then manual transmission Miata. The difference between the cars was substantial. The auto simply will never allow the driver the opportunity to really drive and wring out the car the way it was envisioned to driven. In automatic format, the car was similar to driving any 4 cylinder car. Kind of blah and nothing special. In manual form, the car left me with one of the biggest grins ever. Short throws, with the ability to down shift and upshift when necessary. Two drastically different cars. I am hopeful that the Si and Type R, stick to manual transmissions rather than compromising on the true purpose of these cars.
