This applies to all you MB people. MERCEDES 6 SPEED!
Ok now the 7 series and soon the new A8 have the 6 Speed auto, when will MB follow suit? I know one gear usually wont sway a buyer one way or the other but man sure would be great to put it in 6th on the highway and gain a few miles a gallon.

While Im not accurate on this info,
I do believe BMW has not developed the gear box correct me if im wrong,
But MB is in development and trust me they love Innovating, And when they come out wit their's it will have something really distinct,
This is a Fantasy but imagine if they skipped the 6 speed and suddenly came out with a 7 speed gear box on the 05' S-Class!!

screw the gear thing...what about the steering joystick? Did anyone see that on TV? Mercedes is researching on the new steering system..it's basically a joystick...now THAT's innovative!
