Hey all! I'm a current B5 owner that is waiting for the opportunity for a B7. Only thing is, I don't want a Slip-Tronic and I'm not sure if I can go with another manual (wife doesn't do stick shift and I won't teach her). I'd love to get a B7 with the DSG but when I STFA I found that the B8 will have it. Any news out there on DSG hitting the B7?

TIA and happy holidays.

They can fit the DSG with engines mounted in a transverse configuration, such as the A3 and TT, but not with the A4 as it's longitudinal today

Its got DSG, quattro, and its relatively similar in size to your B5 if that size suits you.

space in the car/platform so getting them both in there is tricky.

I thought it was a issue of the load the DSG can take - a heavy car is too much for it right now.

its the engine layout.

I test drove both A3 and A4. The DSG is a amazing...but in the end I wanted quattro (with a 2.0). The possibility for DSG in the A4 is the primary reason I did a 24 month lease. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it becomes available.

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 has 800 to 900 HP, V16 4 turbo with DSG and Quattro.

They had to strengthen the whole drivetrain for it to last long without it disintegrating.

I thought it's 1001 HP
