7G TRONIC CONFIRMED on 2006 C Class Line
FINALLY!! An answer from Mercedes Benz itself. Well at least, Mercedes Benz Canada. The answer should be the same for Merecedes Benz USA though.The Entire 2006 C Class Line will be available with the optional 7 Speed Automatic Transmission 7G TRONIC!!!
Here is the reply I got:
Thank you for your interest in Mercedes-Benz. The 2006 C-Class line up (excluding C55 AMG) will be equipped with the 7-speed automatic transmission as an option. We expect the 2006 C-brochures to become available in the next couple of months.
Best regards,

My Question posed to MB is below:
Comment or Question: I am looking to purchase a 2006 C Class, either the all new V6 C230, C280 or C350. Can you provide me with a concrete answer on whether the 2006 C230 and C280 will also receive the optional 7 speed automatic transmission 7GTRONIC like the 2006 C350?
Also, when do you expect 2006 C Class Brochures to be produced and distributed if they are not already available?
Conclusion:
The all new 2006 V6 MB C230 Sport Sedan with 202 HP and either the 6 Speed Manual or 7 Speed Automatic is going to be worth every penny and be one of the best values around

if the 7G-tip shifts as slow as the current 5-auto/tip tranny when manualy tipping then it doesn't matter... just two more gears...
I wan to see some software for the M271 ECU that makes the tiptronic control more aggressive.

the tip shift of the 7G is much more responsive then the current 5G auto. also when you down shift it selects the lowest possible gear without redlining, rather than the driver downsifting until he/she finds the lowest gear.
thanks for the info Mason00.
i honestly didnt think the 230 and 280 would get them. awesome that they are.

personal opinion, the sad thing putting the AMG kit on the sport sedans (non-AMG) models, i feel it takes away from AMG being distinctive, or more distinguishable. im glad they arent carrying it over to 2006.

Your buddy is damn right.......HE ISN'T TOO SURE
100% Confirmation from Mercedes Benz Canada. There will definately not be any difference with Merecedes Benz USA regarding engines and transmissions. That is a fact. Stop being skeptical.

Hmmmm...
To paraphrase a famous line:
Until I hear Mercedes, the fat lady in the US, sing, then it's not 100%.
The e-mail did not confirm (or asked about) engine specifics, and only confirmed the 7-sp. transmissions in "the 2006 C-Class line up". There really have been no official M-B (USA or Canada) press releases, M-B website info, write-ups, ect. regarding the exact lineup for US or Canadian '06 C's (other than the C350 replacing the C320).
I think Canadians are getting their engine info from someone posting stuff back in November over at a Canadian M-B forum. He/She said the "President" of a stealership in Ontario told them the lineup after some meeting.
