Is this a true?

I miss my 2008 TT with its six speed, but the PDK in my new turbo is an unbelievable technological advancement and I do not think I could ever go back to a 6 speed.

Better be a typo. The only reason why I didn't buy a turbo S was because it only came in PDK.

These Porsche strategists put a mandatory 6-speed manual in the GT2 and a mandatory 7-speed automanual PDK in the turbo S:confused: And now turbo S smokes the infamous GT2. Doesn't seem like a lot of common sense, but higher profits are in charge here somewhere..

I'm aware that was the case for a number of .2tt buyers out here too...dealer told me. Maybe P has responded to customer preference. To not have choice in a car like this was crazy from the start.

If you want a slower 6 speed car you can get a TT and check off all the options except the PDK. ;)
