So what... look at it this way you had a brand new CLS a whole year longer then the guys that are bout to buy a manual.
So... no you can get a CLS manual PLUS a whole years rental of a Auto

I hope they wait until 2003 for 6-Speed CL.
Mine should be paid off around this time next year.
I could do it now like some of the other RICH BASTARDS on this forum, but I like to have extra $$$$$$$ in the bank.

You finish the outside with Zaino *and* they will help finish the inside with the manual (as a family project)....
I can see Midnight Auto running at full steam -- and you thought those missing "-S" stickers were a problem.

Yo, boys
I am happy to hear this cause this becomes another option. I wanted 4 drs, it was not available, I wanted manual, it was not available, but now it gives me a reason to upgrade because I wanted to keep the CLS for about 18-24 months anyway. Enjoy your CLS for now, upgrade soon.

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
