If you weren't aggressive during that test drive (i.e. staying at low RPMs), it wouldn't be that obvious. If you used Drive instead of Manual, you couldn't notice it because it's turned off. BTW, check out Nissan's site:

It's called "Downshift Rev Matching" instead of SRM, but the effect is the same. All 7AT's have it, whereas only Sport 6MT's have SRM.
