I'm glad the manual is on the top trim rather than the base trim which seems to have become the norm. Disappointed but not surprised by the CVT - thought they'd put the 8DCT in there since it's paired with the 1.5T motor in China. Guess development budget didn't allow for it.

Getting very curious what the Type S of this looks like - I'm assuming it'll make less power than the CTR (272hp?) but will it be FWD or SH-AWD? Without SH-AWD why would anyone buy it over a CTR?
