No MT in the Audi.
Sorry, that's a must-have for a fun car for me.
Cars are becoming less and less connected to the driver, so I like to maintain the deeper connectedness that MT gives you.
Plus, I like the control over when it shifts.
And before anybody says "but you can shift manually with a DCT..." just stop. DCT is still an automatic transmission. Even in manual mode, it will still shift automatically if you hit its mode-based shift points on the top or bottom end.
DCT May be faster, and it's great tech, but at the end of the day, it's just a fancy AT with some degree of manual controllability (that it will override if it wants to).
I'm not saying everybody should get MT, it's not for everyone, but for me it's the only way to fly (and yes, I DD A 6MT every day in my commute in stop-and-go Boston area traffic, and don't consider it the least bit burdensome - it's just part of the joy of driving).
