I agree. MB should offer more manual trans models. ESPECIALLY in the AMG versions! A C32 6-speed would be AWESOME.

Mannies I'd like:

C270 CDI

C32 AMG

CLK55 with the 5.5 Kompressor engine from the E55/SL55 and a six gear DIY shifter ... NIRVANA!!

An E-Class four banger or diesel with a manny tranny, NO COMAND, no ASR/ESP, an MB-TEX interior, manual HVAC controls and a sticker price $12K lower than the E320? Sign me up! Unfortunately, in North America it would be me and five other people.

Well, it was a sports car. Might have been fitted with a puck clutch. That's why she stalled it yeah, that's it.
