    Jimmy--If it's like the DCT in my tuned VW GTI, it is great in the twisties. Paddle shifters, both up and down, work flawlessly and shift better than I can manually shift with a clutch.

    The "talk" is that the DCT will be an upscale option. The alternative being a 6 spd manual/traditional

    I read an article where the DCT will actually have 7 forward gears and a reverse gear!!!

    Yes that is the talk. No more reverse using the starter but an actual reverse gear. Not sure if the 6 spd manual will have the reverse or not. Hopefully.
