It's times such as this that I wish I made lots more money so I could afford these delightful toys. Actually, it's all the time I wish I made more money. :p

my money is on the US market only getting the speed-shift auto... I just don't think benz has the ***** to take on that kind of warranty liability.

SPEEDSHIFT in AMG Coupe

From an article listed on revvinghigh.com. It appears that no 6 speed manual will be part of the AMG Sports Coupe.

the C32 coupe will probably never made its way in U.S.

it is a AMG special vehicle. probably will cost more than the C32 sedan too.

if one really wants C32 coupe in U.S. they might have to look hard for individual importers and for truck loads of money.

keep in mind that before G500 is officially sold by MBUSA it was sold by individual importers for twice the money. even the G320 wsa going for the money you would pay for the G500 now.
