2010 C300 6 Speed M/T
According to Car & Driver no M/T 2012 C Class
Guess my 2010 C 300 Sport M/T may be my first and last MB... According to Car & Driver no M/T in any 2012 C Class model http://www.caranddriver.com/news/car...nfo-auto_shows

Each of the three engines comes mated exclusively to a seven-speed automatic transmission, which means that you’ll no longer be able find a manual in the C-class when the 2012 model arrives next summer. (As if you could realistically find one in circulation before!) That means the current SLK300 will be the only U.S. Merc with a row-your-own option.

Pity. I have no room (and don't want to make the budget...) for a MB Sedan and another (in which case I would go sportier) car with a M/T, although that would be ideal. So since my daily driver should have a stick so I can enjoy driving spiritedly once in a while, I might have to look at BMW when my MB lease is up. I've got more than 2 years to go so it will be a while...
