yeah, i think motor journalists are spoiled because they are comparing this AT to ferrari, porsche, and other supercar DCTs. it looks PLENTY quick in both upshifts and downshifts. the only problem i see, that was mentioned in multiple reviews, is that the tranny will NOT allow downshifts that would result in redline (or close) in the next lower gear. if you look at the vid, it looks like the driver tries to downshift a few times at 5000 rpm. the AT wouldnt let him and he had to wait until about 4000 rpm before it allowed a downshift. kind of a bummer, but totally understandable.
