Dual-clutch transmissions[edit] Main article: Dual-clutch transmission A dual-clutch transmission, or DCT (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission or double-clutch transmission), is a modern type of semi-automatic transmission and electrohydraulic manual transmission. It uses two separate clutches for odd and even gear sets. It can fundamentally be described as two separate manual transmissions (with their respective clutches) contained within one housing, and working as one unit. They are usually operated in a fully automatic mode, and many also have the ability to allow the driver to manually shift gears in semi-automatic mode, albeit still using the transmission's electro-hydraulics.

Either way, a DCT transmission and a torque converter transmission would be two very different experiences in the Supra. I wouldn't necessarily rule out a stick shift option just yet either. |

My friend's M3 DCT bounces off the rev limiter. Same for my SMT.

I continue to struggle with the notion of pricing beyond $50K. The C7, GT350, SS 1LE, 440i M Sport, G60 Red Sport AWD, etc., are all in the $50-60K range, most have back seats, or lots of luxury, tons of performance, and / or V8s.
Basically, people have a ton of choice in this pricing space. I'm trying to work out how Toyota will sell this with 350-400 hp for more than $45K? Will there be enough interest beyond enthusiast to sustain sales for what will likely be 8-10 years of production with a refresh in-between? |

How did you get the Canadian values? Just applied the exchange rate? That isn't how it works.
If $50 to $60K there it would probably be more like $55 to $65K here. We are usually about 10% higher in price for any vehicle.

When driving my mum's Yaris, which is an automatic, I play around with the "gear" selector. That is, I will force the gearbox down a gear for engine braking or approaching a steep (for the Yaris) incline. So is this an auto or not? If I leave a dct transmission in auto mode is it not an auto? "Most serious modern race transmissions have no clutch pedal and can NOT be selected automatically" sure but the driver is not changing the gear; they are choosing the gear. S/he is flicking a switch. "A dual-clutch transmission, (DCT) (sometimes referred to as a twin-clutch transmission or double-clutch transmission), is a type of automatic transmission or automated automotive transmission." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-clutch_transmission For more, see semi-auto versus fully automatic washing machines.
