Not the ones I have driven, the 370 auto/manual is the only rev matching that I am aware of

The M35/M45's when they came out (2006'ish?) had rev matched down shifts on their autos (I remember test driving them).

A Maserati Quattroporte (maybe a 2009) along side the road with me also was rev-matching on the downshifts. I don't think they come with manuals.

Regardless, I don't think there's really any technical consideration between picking an auto or manual, with exception of the previously mentioned forced-induction question.

It's really what you prefer that can decide...
