Asia's C280 and C350 has the AMG Speedshift ?
I was checking the MB Taiwan web Address (I Know it's in Chinese, but once you click the link of the car model and try seacher for the world Speedshift)and I am very surprised that their 2006 C280 and C350 only comes with 5 speed auto but with AMG Speedhift ? Does that mean if we can manage to swap the tranny or it is just a programming problem? and also their steeling wheel has the ability to change the gear too, heh, this is very interesting....

white and whiter
they don't have the speedshift do they? i suspect it's a misprint (btw i can read chinese/mandarin), but they do have the option for the steering wheel shift buttons.

The paddle shift option is available on almost all Benz cars in Australia.
