No, a 2010, not 2011. Back in December when I placed my order we didn't know that the 8 speed and single turbo were coming.
I can't say I'm too upset though. While the 8 speed will lead to somewhat better fuel economy, I think it could be problematic in terms of having more gears on hand in manual shifting mode than one can make use of. In fully auto mode it's likely fine though.
As for the single turbo, I always was under the impression that the advantage of twin turbos was that they were smaller, and therefore could spool up faster.
