'10 GLK350
I got it with the 20's that don't seem to be available in the US... You can see a pic of a truck identical to mine here:

In Canada a 4Matic is a no brainer. The 350 engine is fabulous & for some undescribed reason - smoother. Benz vehicles are always better as auto IMHO. While their manual gearboxes have improved they are still clunkers when compared with the switch like quality of a Japanese MT. In South Africa where well maintained vehicles hold value a lot better than the US - MT vehicles lose value a lot more than auto on a Merc.

I didn't see it coming either. My car was already in production. I had the B200 long-term loaner that I had to come back to the dealer to trade it in for another one, and I kept getting drawn into the the GLK. I then threw it out to my buddy at the dealership, to see if I could do a swap. No problem they said!! And here I am today!

C350
MANUAL MANUAL MANUAL!!!! manual C300 is MUCH faster than a C300, I have a C350 and right now I would not mind at all having a C300 manual. IT'S FAST and fun!!! and the positioning of the stick is good because unlike the G it's not too high up, it's like lower and it just falls right in your hands, you don't want to let go of the stick it feels soo good! plus automatic tiptronic is COMPLETE BS the only thing its good for (and meant for) is if u want an extra push you downshift one or 2 gears then speed up, then go back into drive. but for driving in tip, it won't shift always when you tell it to, it will shift when the car itself feels ready.
