No manual transmission for 2012?
Do I read it correctly?

Well, this is sad, because this means that my first Benz is likely my last one.
Also makes me happy for what I can enjoy now.

I assume it's only available in Europe. There's not enough demand over here

Agreed, the only reason that I went with a 300 over 350 and RWD over AWD was the stick shift....An AWD C350 6-speed manual would have been brilliant!

Yup.. I had every intent of getting the 350 and was surprised to hear no stick!

Sold so few manuals in the US. Will still be popular in Europe, especially in England with the CDI engines (again EXCEPT the C350 CDI). None were available in Mexico for the W204.

Yea I guess it's just not economically feasible to offer the manual anymore. Still sad though
