^ Yes it will

 

i would rather have the paddle shifters. mush better IMO

 

Following the release it will be here. I personally dont like the new tranny w/paddle shifting go test drvie the gts and u will understand...BOOO!

 

if this is tru I am definitely not getting one

 

What happens if it evolves into a gigantic 3500 lb turd?

 

The fact your comparing a dual clutch setup NO-ONE in the public has driven to a CVT that is selecting ratios (not even actual gears) to give the feel of shifting shows you have no clue.

 

Good one.


Just leave the IX as is for a couple more years and keep tweaking it.
Perhaps MIVEC for the intake and exhaust cams and yet a bigger
sequential turbo.

That's what I call evolution... not mutation.

 

sad to hear this, my opinion they should have left it manual only. trying to appeal to older crowds and what not will no doubt ruin their rep. they might turn into another toyota or buick.

 

ouch thats going hurt no gear box!

 

I think they went way beyond their futuristic concep but you gotta understand that sometimes somebody has to take the first step and experiment new stuff. Maybe when the first evo 2.0 turbo 4X4 came out all the people said come on it's just a 2.0 and it wont be fast so everybody started building like subarus 2.5 lt and stuff and SRT4 and whatever but EVos with their 2.0 lt can prove that Mitsubishi posses more technology and better engineers. In the end they managed to get out almosst all the potential they could from a 2.0 engine. Maybe this transmission is a leap forward to better 1/4 times and perhaps it may be a stronger mechanism than the standard tranny.. just my 2 cents

PS I don't think mitsubishi is going to put crappy technologies into this new evo cause they got to maintain their reputation and keep nailing the competition....

 

You can't stop progress. DSGs and other variants of the clutchless manuals are here to stay.

I wonder if car "enthusiasts" were having these same pointless arguments back when synchros were being introduced into road car transmissions. Let's face it, syncro-ed cars are easier and quicker to drive, but they take less "skill". So I guess purists would've been outraged then too. Today, I don't think a single one of you will be happy with a synchro-less transmission in your daily driver.

Same thing, DSGs represent the next evolution of the transmission. They're provably faster, safer and easier to drive. Let's get with the program instead of being stuck in the 20th Century, OK?

 

Why would a rally inspired car even come in auto?

 

**** that, as much as I love shifting my own gears, I'd never have to replace a clutch again!! no more notchy shifting or pedal adjustments. Can I get this on the VIII PLEASE!!??

 

Has anyone gone over how to launch the DSG version? Would it be handled like launching an auto car or can you control it more somehow?

 

Have you even watched a rally? All those cars use DSGs, not manuals, the same type of auto that's coming in the Evo.
