I’ve been to the dealer a few times this week, I had service on the R8 and the A6. I would show pics of my R8 versus the new one but these were closer in comparison since it had the same silver side blades.
Same spot different days

You have the dual clutch right?

Those pics prove even more how I prefer the first gen. In the rear I like the smooth traaition from the roof to the body. I also prefer the round exhaust.

I knew these last year C350 6-spd’s existed as a one year option but I’ve never actually seen one. Rare car here. The 350 V6 was new that year and only in the last year of this body style. WHY couldn’t they drop that tranny in the C55!
