dealer said to me "if you buy an 09/10 PDK today, when the paddles are released PCNA will allow a retrofit of paddles to your car for no charge since will be an either/or option in future....
is this true, or any truth to this... i am looking at an 09 pdk but the only way i would want the car is if i can swap to paddles for an affordable rate when they are released as the current setup does nothing but remind me of the dreaded Tip.
thank you

I'm getting used to the counter intuitive buttons after a week of ownership. I know I'm going to try to up shift the Ferrari by pushing forward on the wheel some time though. I love my PDK, but I wish that it had conventional, stationary, fixed to the column paddles ala Ferrari.

I'm in, nearly, the same boat when I drive my parents Prius with the no ignition key setup. I always grab for the key when I'm done driving just to realize that the darn key is in my pocket. Seems weird, just need to get use to it.

Agreed. I'd rather have the current system than paddles that move with the wheel.
