One of the biggest debates I've seen with new cars is the gearbox - should it be a good 'ol manual or a semi-automatic with the paddle shifters? I think there's a time and place for each kind of transmission - manual is good for when you just want to have a fun casual drive, automatic is for when you want to get from A to B without much effort, and the paddles are best suited for the track.
But I've never heard of any cars or even concepts that could be both manual and semi-auto. I mean a normal H-shifter with a clutch pedal as well as a double clutch gearbox with paddles and full auto. Have any companies tried (or even considered) making this? What problems might there be with this design? What kind of market do you think there would be for this? Is it something you'd even like in a car, or pay for as an optional extra?
I haven't seen any discussion about it anywhere bu I may just be missing something obvious. Thoughts?
