There was a big debate about this on OT (roughly the time when nostatic was shopping for his GTI?). Someone posted how he was just so sure that these semi-manual gearboxes would make good old-fashioned stir-it-yourself gearboxes obsolete in short order. Supposedly I was sticking my head in the sand for not believing that. But as Todd has found out, as nifty as this technology is, it removes you a bit from the experience of driving. The computer may be faster and smoother than I at swapping gears, but that's not always why driving enthusiasts buy cars.
