Those should have the power/economy of a manual with the easiness of an auto.
The manu-matics are just fancy automatics. They still have a torque converter.

And most won't let you change up unless it would have anyway in Drive. I love have manumatic for engine braking though, cos there are plenty of hills round here that are too fast for '2' but really, really scary in top gear.
I spend so much time arguing with the automatic (well, mainly the torque converter lockup) in our Sonata that I find the manual Camry is easier to drive, unless I'm in really bad stop start traffic (or a pre-christmas mall parking-lot jam).
