I sort of think that people do equate all ATs with "slush boxes". The autos in these cars are far from being "slush boxes" really. They are finely tuned and with the computer controls are so far from the old tech they really should have a different designation then automatic.
Go jump in an old Chevy with a 2 speed Powerglide tranny to experience the true meaning of "slush box".
