Has anyone else seen the article on VWVortex about the new VAG
electronically
controlled manual tranmission? No manually operated clutch, but two (!)
electronically operated clutches, basically it's two gear boxes combined to
make
a six speed.

Read the article here:

Granted, you are not rowing the gears yourself, but in my opinion, this is a
great transmission. All the strength and better fuel mileage than a manual
trans, and yet the conveinence of an automatic on those days you are stuck
in
wall-to-wall traffic.
