Then the answer for that would be the PDK, no argument there, heck! given enough power (like a turbo for example) most people are probably faster in a slow, heavy, and power robbing torque-converter automatic than in a manual! so imagine the PDK...
And now the PDK will bring automatics it to a new level. BUT not everyone wants the same thing. Some people, unless its of a significant safety benefit (like electronic aids for example), prefer the pleasure and involvement of the manual gearbox over the tenth's of a second advantage they may get from a cluthless secuential. To each his own, both are perfectly respectable, the good part is we can all choose.
Even though I prefer a manual in my onw car, I'm very glad Porsche is finnaly coming out with a secuential so that those that prefer auto, do not have to give up any sportines or performance at the same time. Presumable, unlike the Tiptronic torque converter, the dual-clutch sequential should be roughly same weight as a manual, same number of gears, and even faster upshift times.
But all hell broke loose when that special "someone" made his divine intervention and said that autos require more knowledge and mastering than a manual!
which is a different matter altogether
