Really? I thought that a "DCT" is just the generic term for a dual-clutch automated manual transmission, where "DSG" was VAG's trademark name for the same technology. Like Porsche & "PDK". Obviously not having interchangeable parts, but the same idea of a dual-driveshaft, dual-clutch automated manual.

Genuinely curious here - can you describe how is a "DCT" vastly different from a "DSG"?
