Is the Mazda MX-5 25th Anniversary available as an auto?

Paul Healy wrote an article about the 'New special edition MX-5' on April the 17th, 2014. He states that this Anniversary Edition is available with manual or automatic gearboxes. I have tried many times, in vain, to get information from both Mazda UK and Mazda Ireland about the automatic version. The answer simply is that it is not available. Who could I write to in Mazda HQ to find out when the auto version will be available in Ireland?

Your advice would be much appreciated.

What's a good automatic car for a learner driver?

I have just moved back to ireland after living abroad, for 10 years of which I was driving an automatic - now I'm having to start the process from the beginning atin - theory test etc. What car should I get? Is it possible to take the driving test with an automatic car as I'd prefer? What would be the cheapest and most reliable automatic?
