I have been driving a Skoda Octavia 2.0 Litre Diesel with a DSG box that I like. Is this box available outside the Audi/Volkswagen Group

Ford/Getrag does a better one called Powershift, originally the Focus and now in the Galaxy, S-Max and Mondeo. Also available in Volvo C30s, S40s and V50s. Mitsubishi offers a similar box in the Lancer and Outlander and Hyundai/KIA is developing one for the ix35, Sportage, Sonata and Magentis.
