Traditionally, Mercedes has always been "ahead of the game" regarding automatics. In the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s when most makes were offering 3-speed automatics, Mercedes offered a 3-speed automatic as well as 4-speed automatic. Then when others were offering 4-speeds, MB offered their famous 5-speed A/T. Now that the competition offers 6-speed A/T's, MB dropped the ball with their 7Gtronic. Can't wait what the future holds in store.
"Yeah, this is my new C220 CDI with the 11Gtronic..."
