I don't think a manual auto mode is coming. It was said in a meeting I was in that the flappy paddles were not well received as an option. I tend to agree. If you want a manual, you buy a manual. The DSG transmission is a great peice of engineering, but so was the CVT. Neither of which provide the joy and interaction of a true manual. Eventually, the true manual gearbox will go away and be replaced. I will only have flappy paddles when there are no cars produced with a clutch.
