That is correct. So just 28%. I think this has been discussed. They figured with the added features like dual-zone and push start and increased price point it would appeal to a slightly older generation who would want more autos.

The same thing happened with the monograms and maybe to an even lesser percentage.

Can't forget that these autos aren't pieces of crap either, and many sportscars come in auto these days.
