From the article cited in the opening post:

Buyers can also choose between a seven-speed manual transmission with rev-matching or a six-speed automatic with paddle shifters.

Not to split hairs, but if it has paddle shifters it's probably an "automated" transmission, not an "automatic". Automatic transmissions have torque converters. Automated transmissions have clutches, but no clutch peddles. The clutch disengagement is what's automated.
