So the DCT doesn't need to be certified thus discounted for manuals?

I hope you will continue to support manuals. Yes, the PDK is good and I traded my GTR, and CLA45 because the auto became boring to drive. For low traffic area the manual is much more of a drivers car in my opinion. The stick is the reason I did not get a Porsche Macan as my daily driver. I really like that vehicle. Drive like a sports car and easy to use and get around in. I may get one in addition but, not as a replacement for stick.
