Shifting paddles coming on new C55
On the international AMG website, the section on the interior of the C55 now shows shift paddles (instead of buttons).
This means a number of things to me.
1) Yes, there will be paddles (which means we can probably upgrade our steering wheels from Mercedes AMG if we really wanted the paddles).
2) More importantly, this implies there will be a 2007 C55 (during the last model year of the W203).
3) Assuming AMG has finished updating their website, I don't see any other significant changes to the C55 (ie no HP/torque upgrade or anything else).
