Evo X Gets the DSG

If AutoBlog reports it, you know it's got to be true.

I am curious as to how they made it around the VW patents though.

figuring there is no clutch pedal so the shifts are pretty much flawless i don't know how you'd break it. which makes it all the sweeter to me.

Well I missed the "A traditional six-speed transmission will also be offered with the car for traditionalists."

So basically an AWD eclipse... I'm such a hater lol

^^ I don't know...I see a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale at our track sometimes with the F1 sequential gearbox and that looks like fun to me. It shifts so fast and sounds so awesome when it shifts at full throttle and pops a bit. F1 cars look fun too...as do WRC cars...

Still can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
