Will the five speed auto be offered soon?

Anyone know if Mazda will be offering the five speed auto in the 5 later in production. Sort of like a 2006.5 model like they have with some of the other cars. Seems odd they use the five speed auto with the 2.3 liter motor in other models now but still use the four speed auto in the new 5.

Have not seen any indication that this is coming anytime soon.

if anything, i would assume maybe for next year's model. i mean, if it's available for the mazda3, why not the 5 as well?
