I agree, MBUSA needs to do more customer research or something... I really liked the Saks and would of gone for that had it had P2. I got my C350 w/ P2 & MM for less than the $45K+ Saks edition. No tin in mine though, I got the Birds Eye Black Maple and really like it with the all black interior.

Ultimately, I would of wanted the beige interior w/ walnut trim & steering wheel in the C350 sport. Maybe someday MB will relax their stringent interior options.

why doesn't the C350 offer a MT option??
Great question. Kind of like why doesn't the C350 have 4-Matic in the US. Grr...

X3 ... P2 in my 350 as well.

Ditto on the alum trim interior, wasn't my cup of tea when I was given a C300 as loaner on my last trip to MB service.

yeah, no offense to anyone here, but if the c300 didnt have MT i wouldn't get it. nothing beats the control on an MT, it may be slower but i didnt pay for a c63..

agreed.

had it not, i would've gone with the 3-series bmw.

one of the benefits of having a mt is that it lessons the chance of your wife/gf driving your car! >=b

I'm thinking something like this would be pretty nice for us C owners with Arctic White exterior!

I am not a fan of the piano black trim, but I like the rest of the interior treatment. Honestly, I would like to see the designo program expand to include the options available to the rest of the world.

As long as she is not a clucth burner, good for you. I, on the other hand, still need to teach my girlfriend how to drive a manual.
Do any rental companies still have manuals in their fleets?
