Not the C32 AMG, from the best that I can tell, unless they've made a mid-year model change...
It's all about a 5-speed automatic with the C32 AMG. C320's don't have a manual available, either.
The 230's? Yes, those do.
If I'm missing something on the C32 to where it shows them with a stick, point me to it.

ok, ok. i'm sorry. only the 240 and 230-K, 230-k SportCoupe, and 320 SportCoupe are avalable with the 6 speed this year, but i think next year the 6 speed will be available across all C-Class models.

Even the MB's that DO have manual trannies have [censored] feel. (Long Throws and very rubbery)
And they still have that "old-man-smoking-a-pipe" styling for me.
BMW all the way for me - regardless of power output.

No offense, I'm but a feeble man, but yes.
The shape constatly take me back to my days of spoiled-dom, spending my summers in the mid-late 90s at a country club, and watching every old fart with a cigar in his mouth and C-notes in his wallet (that he wouldn't spend) as he pulled up to have his clubs taken out from the trunk... Even the new ones save maybe that CLK230 Coupe. But for the most part, the transmission offering put more bitter taste in my mouth.
More.... More bitter...
The new SLR and maybe the SL55 have been the only major updates to me worth looking into in terms of styling. Maybe it's BMW subtle "freshness" that keeps it young looking. I had a neighbor with a... I think 4xx something with Lorinser additions and it looked nice, but not Wow.
... A body kit can only do so much. And in some cases (re: Z3 Body Kit thread) - Too much.
Ok ok ok... I'll give the Pagani Zonda and McLaren F1 nods since they were Benz powered.

Fair, but only half right. THe McLaren F1 was powered by BMW. 
Very few of life's problems can not be solved with the reasonable application of more horsepower!

I shiver to think what the M5 will be capable of. They're guessing it could break the 4.0 sec. 0-60 barrier.  Another thing is that as fast as the RS6 is, the E39 M5 actually runs it down at autobahn speeds. And stays even from a kickdown. This with less than 400 hp. I can't even imagine with 500hp. I've got to give props to MB. Their quest for power is definitely being accomplished. And just think, the E55 AMG is still at a decent price point. BMW better hope their future performance doesn't come at a price premium. Hate to say it but MB is definitely in the driver's seat. -R-
