Hey, I'm new here. From the sound of it and from several tests, it seems that it will pretty much kick anthing under the badge performance to the curb.

One super noob question though, there's no manual transmission?

Pardon my ignorance here, but how is that they put 20x9.5 wheels front and 20x10.5 rear on an AWD car? aren't they all suppose to be the same size?

It is still a rearward bias car, so the rear wheels are USUALLY doing most of the work, until the fronts are needed. That is the beauty of the car.

Ohhh its sooo much better than a traditional manual stick transmission. And don't confuse this Dual-Clutch tranny with those automatic tranny's on cars with paddle shifters. This is a true manual gear box but the the clutch is computer controlled, just like Formula 1 cars. BMW offers a similar gear box (SMG) as does VW and Audi.

at the same time, a dual clutch transmission is very different than the BMW SMG II transmission

dual clutch actually has 2 clutches, where one is for gears 1,3,5 and the other is for 2,4,6 it's engagement is quicker than the 80milliseconds possible with the SMG II transmission
