Am I alone in being confused by the lack of PDK on new Spyder. I was 100% ready to change my current Spyder but withdrew my LOI when it was announced there would be no PDK. Has anyone had an explanation of why this is so. I can (sort of) understand a manual focus on track focused cars like the GT4 though the lack of manual on cars such as GT 3RS blurs the picture somewhat. In my view , Spyders are less likely to be used on track days as much as GT 4 etc. and will be used more on cross country blasts and fine week ends (and maybe daily drivers)so I would have thought a choice of PDK would have been more appropriate ( and before Mr D enters the discussion, I have no wish to resurrect the tedious PDK v Manual debate. its personal choice in my view depending on how you want to use your car). Do you think there is any chance of a PDK being introduced for next model year (I think it unlikely).

RBTO what info do you have that suggests PDK coming to GT4? If it is true then I would hazard a guess it will also come to Spyder!
