2004 Mercedes-Benz Cxx AMG

I am hearing very confusing stuff. Will there be a C55 AMG in 2004? What about the C38 AMG? Will there be any changes made to the car other than the engine?

Porsche Turbo Stage 4, Cayenne S ... gone C43, C32, ML55 & Ducati 999.
there is more facts that support a C55 than a C38, being the last one the logic replacement...
well here in the US perhaps we will continue having the C32 for more year, but for EU fot sure the C55 is going.

If the C55 comes out, i am gonna jump on that before the CLK55 simply because 4-doors are better.

Could that be the reason C55 is not coming to US?? It will destroy CLK55 sales, which is not that good to begin with.

since this is a new thread, I guess i'll have to say it again.

IMO C55 will probably be a special vehicle for Europe only and the C32 will continue till MB replace the 3.2 engine in the C-class with something bigger. I'm guess that'll come in 2005 when BMW release the next 3-series.

Five speed tranny .. hmm, I've read elsewhere that all AMG vehicles will be receiving the 7speed .. I wonder if this one will be the anomaly in that it will be missing two gears.

One would almost ask, what's the point of getting a 5sp C55 if a 7sp may be due to replace it shortly.
