Turbo Charging Taking over the future of Kompressor w/ Mercedes?

Now i've been hearing and reading in a lot of places that Mercedes is starting to shy away from their Kompressor (supercharged) way of forced induction and leaning more toward turbo charging.. Now this is already evident in the new CL65 AMG.. and other 65 AMG models, and with the W204 and a few other models up for a redesign in a couple of years I think these changes would actually be present in those models, ie. C230 K replaced with C230 T??

what do you guys think?

C 32 AMG (203.065)
They only went to Turbos because they are cheaper in production than Kompressors..

Also they are quieter than the superchargers whine.
