Anyone else slightly miffed by this line? While I'm no linguist myself, calling a transmission a "gear shifter" and then going on to describe a DCT in a fairly inaccurate and backwards way doesn't reflect the knowledge of a trusted source of automotive journalism.
Its a little clunky, but also pretty spot on for someone trying to break down a DCT to non-enthusiasts imho
