I'm hoping that's the case, because the one thing the AT 370Z does in manual mode that annoys me is that it will drop down a gear if you drop to about 1K RPM rather than just holding the last gear until given an input from the driver.

I posted the exact same question in the powertrain subforum earlier today, haven't had an answer yet. I'd prefer it if the auto does what the 370Z does, both to prevent accidental lugging and stalling, and to make daily driving much less onerous when going from stoplight to stoplight using the paddles - who wants to have to blip down through 4-3-2-1 every time you stop? This might be fun for a few days but it would quickly become tiring for most. Even a manual would be less work - brake, clutch in, shift to first.
