A DSG will be in my future, and... all my cars have been stick, but, w/ DSG the reason to have a manual is no longer true. The only reason for a clutch and a stick is that 100 years ago there was no other way to connect an engine to the wheels - and today, indeed, a manual is an anachronism. Later the slushbox came, but it was inneficient and slugish (even though on P-cars the latest TipS, people tell me, is fast and quite efficient). The DSG solves the problem efficiently and with superior performance.
