The IS350 I piloted allowed second gear starts from a standing stop and the computer system did not shift gears for me nearly as much.

Granted, it does not have 8 gears.

I would tend to believe the chart from Lexus and I would tend to argue, from that chart, that the actual total shift time to 0.3 second.

Also, on that chart, who is "Competitor A" and whose DSG is it?
Mass confusion!

I am assuming DSG is from VWAG as they coined that term.
