First model year German cars is generally a bad idea anyways...... The '03 E55 with the new supercharged V8 M113 engine had a lot of problems too. Also, they tend to make small upgrades through out the years. It's not until MY2006 that they have a solid W211 E55

Maybe for 2011... Merc goes TTV8, with their AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7, could make a sick AMG C-Class.

Just please ditch the wood grain interior too!
IF the MCT and the TTV8 made it to the C AMG next year, Merc will have a return customer and I'm saying adios to my E92 M3 once Merc-AMG masters the technology

FYI, the carbon fiber trim is available on the C AMG as an option, just like wood trim are available as an option for the M3.
