da duke:

I suppose what your dealer is saying is that the controversial gear levers will go and be replaced by something more inuitive-I still dont think that would deter me from buying the current PDK as the whole car is going to change aparently from a 997 to a 991!

Are old Tiptronic boxes being penalised in the resale market?

What will happen is that as from 02/2010 a "sports steering wheel with paddles" will be offered as an option. They will be right paddle +, left - like the conventional VW/Audi system.

The current style will continue with the sports cars as with the yet-to-be-released panamera and the new 2011 cayenne.

So there will be something additional but the button PDK interface will not be abolished.

I am not sure if the new system will be retrofittable or if it will also have a multifunction facility. I doubt the latter though.
