Mine are not predictions, only questions and speculations.

Just as an aside, the hyundai DCT is a pile of shit. What a miserable powertrain.
I'm sure Toyota could design one, but is there a budget DCT that isn't a hot mess transitioning between stationary and moving? Even the excellent shifting GTI unit is sloppy there.
