Granted the new dual clutch automated manuals are faster shifting than any human and from a strictly performance stand point the DCT's will be faster than a traditional three pedal manual.
BUT...this car was advertised to be a back to basics driver oriented RWD performance car, and as such, us enthusiasts want to be as connected to the car as possible. That's why we want our manual transmissions.
No need for all the hate in this thread. Subyota isn't stupid, they know there will be tons of customers who will buy this car for other reasons than hardcore drivers focussed performance and there will be some type of automatic for you guys. I doubt it will be a DCT though as Subaru doesn't have one in the line up yet and it would raise the price on the car too high.
