M-DCT with a clutch pedal - WTF
Can someone please explain this car. It is supposed to be a DCT but it clearly shows a clutch pedal. Look at picture 8.

They have photoshopped a DCT shifter onto 3 photos where the manual shifter would otherwise be. It is some pretty bad photoshop work as none of it lines up. also the tacho does not have shift lights. Wonder if it is worth reporting to carSales as I am pretty sure this would breach their terms and conditions. It is a dealer Car as well which is pretty dodgy. I wonder which dealer it is.

Looks like someone already has posted their name. Maybe someone from Brisbane can check it out now that we all know who it is.

Uhhh... Did the factory screw up an order? Hahahahah
Potential buyer: what's that 3rd pedal doing there? Salesman: Oh it doesn't do anything. We placed it there so it feels like you're driving a real manual car! ..only without the effort of placing the shift knob into gears. P. buyer: Hmm... so my wife can finally learn to drive manual. I'll take it, mate. |

I posted an enquiry on carsales and they called me yesterday. I pointed out that the photo's had been doctored. The sales guy assured me that the vehicle is DCT. He even went out to look at it and confirmed it was DCT and did not have a clutch pedal. It is most likely the case that they didn't have the car available for photos at the time they posted the ad and decided to convert some photos of a manual version of the car to DCT.

Ok now this is getting a bit silly. Instead of simply taking photos of the car they claim to have, it seems they have used the clone tool in photoshop to remove the clutch pedal. Now it looks even more ridiculous because the brake pedal is narrow. On a DCT the brake pedal is actually wider.

If you look at the photos on the website now you will notice that the close-up of the dash (photo 7) does not show the shift lights and the next photo (8) shows them.
