I think there is a trend towards automated manual gear boxes that are replacing conventional automatic gearboxes for the reasons that Brodick states above.
I think the majority of i-shift owners would agree with you on a twin clutch system if that is going to improve the existing i-shift.

I have a friend who has an '04 1.6 automatic Toyota Corolla. He renewed his Vehicle Excise Licence recently and it cost him £210! (12 months). I put this down solely to emissions.
