Does fiat make an automatic 500?

I am interested in a new Fiat 500, but it must be automatic. Does FIAT make the 500 with an automatic gearbox, and what sort of auto box do they use?

You can buy a 500 with a Dualogic automated manual transmission. These are not normally very good, but the Dualogic is probably the best of a bad bunch because FIAT has the most experience of this type of box, going back to the Selespeed in Alfa 156s.
