Corvette has either a 6spd auto or manual option. Auto is a 1500 option I belive. There is no more 4spd auto for the Corvette, 6spd manual is standard.
We might see 6spds auto and manual all across the board, but its possible like the VE cars in Australia, there might be a 5spd auto option for the 6cyls.

this has actually been discussed before and it was brought up that by the time this car comes to market, the price of entry is going to be a six speed manual and a six speed auto w/paddle shift option... GM already has the 6L80E in the C6 and has pretty much perfected the six speed gearboxes that are used in various platforms around the globe.
as mentioned above, there will be probably be a five speed auto V6, a 5spd manual V6, a six speed manual high option V6, a 6spd auto V8 and a 6spd manual V8... not only does that make sense, it keeps the car (and the platform that it is on) in or ahead of the performance curve.
