I believe the AMT's still require driver input to shift, it's just not a physical linkage but instead a paddle/button/lever input to tell the computer to shift the trans.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with stigma. Might as well say there's no difference between a WRX and an STI besides the badging. They're both just cars with flat motors, right?
