The reality is the average buyer will prefer the smoother operation of the ZF8. I haven't seen a single Supra review where anyone lamented it wasn't a DCT, in fact it's received a lot of praise. I have owned several DCT's going back to last decade and the ZF8 is considerably smoother than any of them and in sport+ mode isn't far off their performance. It's the smoothest automatic transmission I've ever driven which everyone will appreciate on those days where life gets in the way of race day. I was a bit of a ZF8 naysayer until I got the X3M and TBH after using this transmission I'm a believer in the hype as it's really good.
