hi everybody, how are u?

i'd like to know if anybody knows when there'll be a 5-speed automatic sequential (activematic) 'box for the 6. The 4 speed is alright, but it just doesnt feel complete without that last gear. I mean, most cars come with a 5-speed these days anyhow! So i'm pretty sure a 5 speed auto box will be introduced some time, but the problem is, WHAT TIME?

also, i am located in Australia, and there is about a 1-2 month waiting list for the car, so i think i can wait for the box if it doesnt take TOO long, it wont make too much of a difference anyway, cos i'll hafta wait that long for the damn car anyhows.

thanks

The only 5sp Auto for the 4cyl I know of, is in the AWD Estate/Wagon.
Haven't heard any rumors a of 5sp auto for 4cyl Sedan/Hatch.

hrmm....im not sure if mazda will put a 5 speed auto in the M6 4 cyl, but they should because honda has 5 speed autos in their 4-cyl accords.
