C32
They will probably install the new 7G tranny in the 2nd year C55, that way the 1st year C55 owners will feel screwed. Typical MB, they think you will want to trade a 1 year old C55 for the new improved model and all that they are doing losing customers.

To infuriate pple like you, so that by rashful thought and impulse you trade in the older C55 to get the newer one with 7G

It's a marketing strategy called "luring in the sucker"
