Details on the DCT tranny? How is it? Is it an improvement over SMG? Is it comparable to DSG (is that what it's called, it's been awhile ..) ala VW?

Does the extended leather option include a leather dash? If so, can you take pictures of it? I have not seen the leather dash everyone claims to have with the extended leather option. As far I know it's just the center console and door area that has leather with the extended leather option.

Thanks

Extended leather is on the lower half of the dash ie. Under the steering wheel and the glovebox.
