I had not even thought of that.

Dual clutch transmissions (short and condensed version) have a start up mode that allows the clutch to disengage from the engine (and to remain disengaged while under brake load, sitting still and what not) but shift in fractions of the time that an traditional automatic does. It also does not have the differing lock ups and torque magnification due to the lack of torque converter. It is an "automatic" only because it CAN shift for you, and you aren't working a clutch petal. Entirely different machines.
I love my manual and rather dislike automatics... but the DCT in my fathers car is to die for. The shift time is ridiculous.
