Modern automated manual transmissions, which is what a DCT is, are not the 3-speed Hydramatic slushboxes of your youth. And can typically be paddle-shifted, if manual gear selection is your thing.
If anything, the gold chain and Rolex crowd isn’t really interested in performance and likes the nostalgia of a stick.
Rowing a stick on a modern car is like wanting a rotary dial on your smartphone. Which, as I look, is actually available in the Apple App Store.
Paddle shifted? Pffft. That is for little princesses who never learned to use a clutch. An automatic is fine for a minivan. An automatic in a sports car is sacrilege.
The gold chain and rolex crowd couldn’t care less about nostalgia or performance. They only care about image and getting laid.
