I'm not being an A$$ here, but honestly, I've never heard anyone who knows anything about cars make a statement like that.
All passing gear is in an automatic is a gear kick down, and a manual has more offerings in this department.

passing as in not changing gears and slamming your foot on the gas pedal and it goes into what we used to call passing gear.
it is obviously dropping 2 gears and jumping to 6500 rpms but the option of just slamming your foot instead of having to drop to 2nd gear and then upgearing back 2 gears is nice.
cant a little common sense work here
