We're all hoping that the DCT cars will be in the US soon. Alas, it looks like it will be later than sooner -- the ship turned back .

Just my $0.02.
thanks this is getting frantic, especially for me who can still pick, I ordered but not locked in for a week or two but likely will have to make a decision without a test drive.

This is not as bad as it seems as there are other cars like the M5/M6 or the GTR or the Bugatti (etc.) that only came/come in one flavor. It was like that until BMW made the 6MT for the M5s.

I guess I want to make the best decision I can. I am leaning towards the DCT mainly b/c I didn't love the 6MT as much as I could. I plan to get another test drive on the 6MT soon if I can and then go by the process of elimination.



but I'm keeping my eye on the net to see when there is a real (or better) review in the next few days hopefully.
