I see that we don't get the sportiest suspension until the 2009 model year. That will also be the year of the next engines and hopefully then a manual will show up on the C350. I think the 2009 models are going to be the ones to really show if MB can build a true 3-Series competitor. I don't like the fact that the initial introductions of the W204 doesn't contain new engines and MB's best effort. That could damage the car in the market.
