Also, please can someone tell me why Porsche couldn't just steel the DSG type gearbox off the Bugatti Veyron now that they have so many shares in VW?
1. Bugatti DSG is far too heavy and big
2. Borg Warner has manufacturing limitations and the company which commited first (VW - and that includes Bugatti) got preferential treatment. Porsche was just slow, so they had to wait. Glad it's coming through though. Porsche has been milking and not investing for too long IMO.

I'm sorry but bugattis dsg gearbox isn't made by Borg Warner but by british specialists Ricardo(very popular for their racing gearboxes, LMSeries).
