This is almost word-for-word what owners were saying about SMG. And look how that turned out. Obviously, DCT is hand over fist better than SMG. But you never know. I think it really comes down to numbers as opposed to options. If there are 100 DCT's and 5 manuals, then guess which will have the higher asking price (like-for-like specs). I'm sure the opposite is true. Like I said Calgary has a higher asking price for manuals because of their rarity. And as someone pointed out to me, above, that probably isn't true elsewhere.
