Clutched "automatics" have finally evolved to a point where performance is no longer a material dividing line, and the cost of the transmission is low enough that it's making its way into mainstream cars. These numbers really show that despite a fairly stubborn segment that insists on full manuals, the clutch pedal is on its way out. But the concept of a manual, with a clutch (albeit computerized) and the ability to select gears will continue to stick around.

You forgot add that "DCT has LIMP mode when it needs a break."
