why are the gauges the same as 2005 models?
I just noticed something about the C280's gauges. I thought that the 2006 models had a white rim/trim around the guages in the instrument cluster. Clearly that is not the case with this 2006 car. Perhaps that is only part of an option package? Or maybe only the "sport" sedans have it???

The underhood dressing looks very nice. It is no longer just engineering under the bonnet, there is some nice "set decoration" going on there.
GMW, I have not been in Kampala for years, but I have never seen such a beautiful car. You are lucky indeed. Did your car come from Germany or South Africa? Who ever put it together did an outstanding job.

When were you last in Kampala? It is a fast growing city now!! Also Lots of cool cars from G55 AMGs, E55K AMG, C32 AMG to the new CLSs snd pretty much everything else in the MB range. The new RHD ML will be here in September.

One other thing I've noticed is that it still pulls from 5000rpm all the way to its 6,200 or 6,500rpm limit.

The new DIRECT CONTROL tweeks together with the AMG wheels make the handling excellant. Much more of a driver's car than my previous C.
