If the article is correct, it may stop kids looking for joy rides. But I expect a professional auto thief would not have that issue.
Was watching jay Leno's Porsche 911 PDK episode the other day and he was saying that they are selling loads more in the UK where im from even tho predominately we prefer manuals.

I love my manual but after driving my mates 5.0ltr Supercharged XFR Jag there was something nice about just flooring it and hanging on to the steering wheel for dear life.

That jag is an 8 speed single clutch auto but even still I dont think a human could change faster. Image what the Porsche PDK dual clutch will be like!
