In the USA, all 300D have automatic transmissions. My personal opinion is I will put up with the automatic transmission only if I also have the boon of a turbo. I have owned 240 manuals and 300 turbos. I test drove a 300 non-turbo. It seem similar to my 240 manuals - keeping in mind that each car is different. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
