Of course I hate that it's STILL a regular torque converter and the inherent drivetrain loss that goes along with it. But you can't have it all.
Thanks for sharing. I figured it was due to the low-speed driveability (where I agree with you, traditional auto > dual clutch). When I drove the auto FR-S, I didn't pay that much attention to the shifts and responsiveness. Good to hear Toyota has learned to make traditional automatics quicker and more responsive.
