I'll pass on the DCT, but the transaxle would be great. The problem is the cost of something like that. People are already complaining that the Z isn't a great value at $35-45k. Adding something like that would cost quite a bit of money, especially when you have so few sales to amortize the costs over. And then it would be too close to the GTR, Nissan's halo car. They won't let that happen. It's the same reason the Cayman will never get as good of an engine as a 911. Car manufacturers don't want to cannibalize halo car sales.
