Yeah, I think when Mazda went with the paddle shifters they brought a lot of 'manual only' guys closer to being automatic guys. The big thing, to me, with the current Miata, is the rpm's at highway speed are much lower and relaxed with the automatic than they are with the manual. That and the paddles is what would probably cause me to become a Miata automatic owner if I end up buying the PRHT.
