What's a flex disc flywheel?

I've seen reverse flywheels where the flywheel is on the trans side and it's the pressure plate that's bolted to the crank (old VWs), I've seen "modular" clutches where the flywheel, pressure plate and clutch are riveted together as an assembly and bolted to a flexplate like you'd bolt on a torque converter (Chrysler) and I've seen dual mass flywheels.

Never a "flex disc flywheel"

Automatic buyers, which Toyota predicts will be the majority, will find six speeds and paddles on the steering wheel. Revisions include additional clutch plates and a new torque converter to cope with the newfound, well, torque.
But that is, as you've no doubt observed yourself, referencing the automatic.
