Nobody considered fitting the new 7 speed DSG box from the VW Polo?

It is a beautiful, sweet shifting box with good semi close ratios - one of the quickest, nicest feeling I have ever used.
The 2 liter motor is 2 engines in one thanks to variable cams. Below 6,000 RPM it is a docile, tractable street motor but above 6,000 it becomes a 240 Hp, 9,000 rpm screamer. And that with a 100,000 mile factory warrantee.
Later models are 2.2 with more torque but slightly less HP
