No More manual for A4?!

[thejimrose]

yup the dual clutch was porsche helping out audi with the s1. total black
ops style. =) amazing that technology was so old when it first came out i
thought 'how groundbreaking!' perhaps why i'm not an engineer? =)

as for the manumatic / dsg argument, i for one am not concerned with 1000's
of seconds of performance improvement. if i were i wouldn't drive an a4..
it's about synergy with the machine and the drive, not the lap time.

although i have to say there are many days when an auto would be lovely.
