Default Mercedes has manual?

Does Mercedes have manual? I always thought they only had automatics.

Go down to very bottom to Brabus Interiors and you will see a list. Then you will see this: BRABUS Leather/Aluminium Gearshift Lever, illuminated, for cars with manual gearbox

The SLK is available in a manual. Also, the "baby" Benz, 2 door, fastback coupe comes as a manual. (Can't remember the number designation - they don't mean a thing to me.)

I believe RennTech a mercedes tuner offers a manual box conversion for the Clks, they have a CLK pumping something like 450 hp and 500 torque on there website but then again its like a $200,000 upgrade for that

I"m pretty sure the new C-Class Sedan also has a manual available.. but only with the smaller engine i think.. not sure though. And like other people said, the C-Class coupe/hatch/whatever and the SLK's

No.. CLK is the Coupe and Convertibles that are much larger and much nicer than the hatchback, which is called the C230 Sport Coupe I believe.

The C230 is the small coupe. It has a 6-speed manual, w/auto optional and a 2.3L s/c engine.

The C240/260 (they changed the displacement) is the small engined sedan. It also has a manual available. The C320 is auto only.

The SLK also has manual available on the 230 and 320. The SLK32 AMG does not offer a manual.

There are conversions, but they are costly. I think it was over 10K to 'manualize' an SLK32. Benz auto trannys are friggin' awesome and convenient in traffic. IMO nothing beats a stick (except SMG or the Ferrari F1 box)
