If that's the way they'll do it I think you will kill more than 50% of the little MT demand that is still left. I'm considering going back to MT but if I have to pay for the DCT to get it I think I'll go for another DCT.
I don't see it as a done deal though. With an MT standard they can keep the base price more competetive and also claim a lower weight, not sure if they can claim the MT weight as the official weight if it's an option. Both are rather important competetive factors but if they want to phase out the MT for the next model a standard DCT is a good way to wind down MT demand further.
