Hopefully it helped someone, it's good information that should help new comers tell what's new for the MY2006 W203

Folks,

Do you when can we see a 06 at dealer? Could we order one now? Also, is 7 speed auto going to be standard on 06 as well?

Thanks!

1.) Mid-august is what my dealer told me.
2.) Yes, you can order one now.
3.) Yes, 7spd is standard at least on some (not sure if all of them though)

Is there supposed to be any price difference between the 2005 C230K SS and the 06?

Oh, and some of the paint options go away, so does multifunction seats in the C350.

I don't think the trans is going to be standard on any of them, except maybe the C 55. It's an expensive option, but still worth every penny.

The C 350 should scream!
