Yea but there's no need to put it into neutral at a stop with a torque converter auto, simply hold the brakes to prevent it from creeping.

The reason why the VAG DSG doesn't have this dual pull feature is because prior to the initial launch with the Mk.1 Audi TT and Mk.4 Golf R32, they had a dealer meeting and it was voted that the DSG should be made to mimic the characteristics of a conventional automatic with PRND(+/-) and auto creep forward (just make sure you don't let it auto creep forward on an incline otherwise will burn out the clutch packs). This would be an easier sale than let's say how the Toyota MR-S SMT was setup, with an unconventional gate pattern where it would do a rollback readily.

I can see a motorsport car having this dual paddle pull feature being much more ideal on the track than using it in everyday traffic. If the car has electronic parking brake then it should also have hill hold assist with auto disengagement of the parking brake when giving it gas.
