Steering wheel paddle shifters? Huh?
Reading the press kit available from rotarynews.com, check out page 12. Last paragraph, first sentence:

"...while the steering wheel paddle shifters have a unique composition with the look of metal..."

Does that mean automatic has paddle shifters? Or did they forget to remove that from the press kit as a discarded option?

Did more reading of that press kit and while paddle shifters are neat, they have a one second response time. :o Too bad about that; if they were as quick as the Eclipse then that would start to get interesting.
