The 500 is definitely not an automatic. A DCT is nothing like a conventional slushbox.

Arguing with a dictionary seems pointless, but have at it! (Hint: lots of other automatic transmission designs don't match what you call 'conventional' either)

Have you seen the way dictionaries, especially MW, updates definitions to cater to the politicos these days? Dictionaries are quickly becoming as accurate as Wikipedia. :rolleyes:

Political faction favoritism have caused the definition of "automatic transmissions" to be changed to cater to the folks that want a DCT to be included in the category even though, you believe it shouldn't. Got it.

LOL, the point was that you can no longer trust dictionaries to be accurate. However, if we're going to trust MW's definition as a fact, does that mean if I shift a DCT by manipulating a lever or paddle, it is no longer an automatic?

This is a car forum, to equate the term auto to a DCT is silly. I would wager that most people here think of a slushbox when they hear the term automatic transmission.
