World's First 7-speed auto-box

Yes, Mercedes will swap out the current 5-speed transmission with its new 7G-TRONIC later this year in 2003. It's only available on the E500, S430, S500, and SL500 though. I wonder why they're not doing this on the V12's. Anyway, I wish the dealers would tell us exactly what's to come in upcoming models so we could make clearer decisions when purchasing. Taurian, if you can wait about 6 more months you can have a quicker, more economical S500...

Here's the article, guys:

I can't!!!

Karma,

I want to take delivery soon, so when my lease is up, I can slide into the new model.

Also, who really knows when the dealer will take delivery of the car w/ 7G-Tronic.

Taurain why do you have to subject us to this obnoxious picture with all of your posts? Who needs to see this crap anyway? Are you twelve years old or something?

Your right big man...I'll post pics of my new S500 I picked up last night tomorrow. And by the way, that picture has already made me money on this board, and I've had at least 5 members pm me to discuss opportunities. I'm 33. Any other questions?
