NO Automatic available on Cobalt SS Turbo?

The GM Powertrain listing has the upcoming Cobalt SS Turbo 2.0 listed ONLY with the 5 speed manual transmission that the HHR SS manual has. No auto. Wonder why? Humm

Bob Lutz built a secret HHR_SS with a 6-speed automatic transmission, AWD, and heated Ricarro seats. The research and development was funded with the extra money from overpriced Canadian sales. Several are hidden around the country in Bob's secret garages. Inside sources who must remain anonymous suggest that GM is denying the existence of the 6th gear from the manual, as well as the automatic with full output. They are likely to announce these options right after you've bought your SS. You will be unable to resist the urge to sell your obsolete 2008 MT5 or underpowered AT4 and buy the new model, buoying sales and revenue. But don't tell anyone.
