@trobi what you miss is that VW/Audi was able to take these expensive niche technologies and commercialize them in mass production. that's not an easy feat.

@RonnieMX: no, auto transmisssions don't have a clutch. They have a torque converter, which is two turbine blades (one connected to the engine, the other the gears) separated by a few 100ths of an inch in a space filled with oil. Cheers.

Drive a 997 Turbo with PDK....You quickly forget about Manual :P

@bobrec3GTI Manual is slower.. paddles as fitted to the new gen cars is very nice on the track (think F1) up on the right down on the left.
No heavy clutch in traffic too and is great fun to drive... Having said that I just bought a 1st Gen 997 Carrera S with manual gearbox and I love it!!

@rijowysock same here man, i used to only want manuals, then i test drove two golf gti's, one with a dsg and one with a manual... needless to say, my next car will be a gti dsg.
Porsche developed dual clutch transmissions more than 25 years ago. Also Lancia developed twin-charged engines back in the 80's. The name "TDI" was firstly used by Fiat in the early 90's. VW-Audi only bought other peoples' inventions. Now they're pride of their DSGs TSIs FSIs TDIs...
