Also to be noted is the popularity of the AMT systems or the Automated Manual Transmission, where a manual gear box is mated with a computer which shifts gears for you. As of now Auto-enthusiasts look down upon these systems, but they have improved a lot in recent years, and seems mechanically much more reliable systems than CVTs and DCTs which have a lot more moving parts. Also with improvement in software they could become better over time. They seem cheaper also.
