Huh odd, another magazine, Autopista, referenced the IS-F when talking about the automatic transmission.

Quote from MatadorRacing F1: "It has two types of transmission. The one I tried was equipped with a 6 speed manual. They assured me that there would be two possibibilties of development, following the country [market] that it will go to or the taste of the customer (lolwtfbbqwaffles?!?!?! Implying perhaps different ratios between hi spec and low spec or different gear ratios/final drives for different markets).
The other option is a torque converter automatic exactly the same as mounted in the IS F."
So it sounds promising if the final version is similar or a modified version of the IS-F. As stated by madfast, its most likely a modified version of the IS though, but some of the ones that drove the automatic Subaru enjoyed it.
