I read some of the articles and was wondering if this was going to be a hybrid-diesel? The article also mentioned the Q5.

BTW, I've been reading a little about the dual-clutch transmission that Volkswagon has and it sounds like an interesting approach for a semi-automatic transmission. If I understand it correctly, it sounds like weight closer to a manual transmission but with computer control, the operation of an automatic.
