Hi

I just found something on vw.oempl.us. It's a DSG rear badge that normally sits on a MK4 R32. I tought it would be cool for the guys with a GTI with a DSG gearbox who want to show it by a badge. It cost $ 14.50 and you can find it here on vw.oempl.us

There was also a pic of it:

It's all a matter of personal taste. You don't like to drive a DSG but a lot of people on this forum really like driving with the DSG and there shall be people that would love to have a badge like this and would be proud to have it on their hatch. Like I already said it's a big matter of personal taste. Don't judge people on their choice of gearbox. You are no less of a man when you drive a GTI with a DSG gearbox. Respect each others choices ok.

how was it on the back of a MkIV R32? there was no DSG for the MkIV...i've never even seen any OEM DSG badge on the back of any DSG-equipped VW or Audi ever before...

Round 100! Begin! Just kidding. But how do they always turn into this? Everyone knows that driving a 6spd manual gives you more driver involvement. If you're looking for the relaxed way or just don't drive a stick well, then yeah the DSG is for you. Or if increasing your 1/4 mile time marginally in a straight line is important and you're willing to sacrifice driver involvement, then yeah it's for you. But if your more tailored to car control and driver involvement, then yeah the 6 spd manual is for you. Everyone is going to justify their reason. It's just that...their reason.
DSG=Faster straight line speed (that's why I chipped my 6 spd manual).
6spd manual=Increased Driver Control.
Although wussy-matic does sound kind of catchy. I've never heard that before. I wonder if there is an age variation across the board of who drives what. It would be interesting to see if a 6spd manual driver tends to be younger and a DSG driver tends to be older.

The latest models of the MK4 R32 got a DSG gearbox. No idea about the presence of that DSG badge. Actually I just wrote down the info that was given on vw.oempl.us
