Auto/manual combo?

I was looking through the protege brochure and it was talking about a auto/manual combo for the ES. Does anyone know if this is out and now much it costs? does anyone have it? It allows you to switch between manual and auto on the fly,.

aka: Sport shift automatic. Still has a tourque converter. It's no faster than a regular automatic, it's just supposed to give it a more sporty feel.

I've got it for my P5. Best thing is it looks nicer than standard auto. Other than that...it's an auto. Dont trade in a 5-speed for it, it doesnt shift anything like a stick. It's nice for descending long low hills, but most of the time I just leave it in auto-mode.
