Probably a lie. It might be a very uncommon combination, but you could certainly get it, if you searched and searched, or ordered it that way.

Not too sure in the US. But for sure, it is an available option here in Australia. As the above people suggest, it is a rare combination. But for sure you can order it that way here down under.

I ordered one... it better be availible...
there may not be any on the ground... and all the new ones may be spoken for.

also, US markets are saturated with automatics. it was a pain just to find a manual to test drive!

MB USA never builds that combination unless it's ordered. If you find any on the lot there's a 99% chance it was a canceled order.

So yes it's available.. but no you're not likely to "find" it.

I've got it!

MB dealers don't stock them because the drivers of 6 speed manuals:

are never lost
always know where they are
always know where they're going.

It's so simple, really...

He's lying. A dealer did that to me. I subsequently called him from the dealership I ended up buying the car from. I just wanted to say hi.
