Well we may find out once the new 9G-Tronic gets the AMG treatment in a few years. That is, if they don't go DCT first.

I have to agree. Although the SLS and A/CLA use DCT I think Mercedes is a bit averse to going DCT in all performance applications due to the fact that they still design their transmissions in house. NIH syndrome and such.
