I can sense your sarcasm, BUT -

GM wasted a bagillion dollars in R&D if they weren't after fuel economy. A 7spd dual clutch tranny would be just as much performance.

I'm sure there are a good chunk of people at GM disappointed.

Proof that you can't have your cake and eat it too.

If the gas economy sucks, then there's very little point to having so many gears. Going back to your point, a car with 650hp/tq doesn't need 10 spds to be fast.
