Audi also uses a DCT in the RS3. But guess what, they use a ZF 8HP for all their longitudinal cars. They only use the DCT because they have to. THere are no transverse planetary automatics that perform well enough to use in a performance car. I guarantee you that Merc or Audi would use torque converted automatics in their front drive cars if they could fit them.
