Why won't Mercedes-Benz use a true dual-clutch transmission in AMG cars?
Is there a reason behind this? There are only two cars that come with a true dual-clutch transmission: the SLS AMG and the upcoming A45/CLA45 AMG.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
It's hard to tell at this time. We'll see what they do with the next full redesign.

As Audi Bmw etc. seem to be moving away from This vaforing 8speed auto, I Think it is a combination of price, fuel economy, reliability.
