My 3.0 will sit just about 3K at 70MPH. The 300D does about 2700 RPM at the same speed.

I think the 7 speed in the C300 I had yesterday was much less, maybe 1600-1700? Can't remember exactly.

I dont mind the automatics in these cars. I drove a Chevy Cruze and that was a pain in the butt. It never quite wanted to be in the gear I wanted. The C300 was better but then again my driving is 99% highway...
