Looks pretty sexy. I'm torn... standard, funner to drive as long as you aren't in gridlock all the time. Choices, choices

Mercedes announcements have indicated that, at least initially, the CLA will only be available in North America with the 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. Are there plans to sell a stick-shift model here at some point?

I would LOVE to have the the manual transmission option. So many auto manufactures seem to be doing-away with the mechanical transmission option, and I have no idea why! The manual transmission only seems to enhance the fun of driving an awesome car. Why do the "America's" market have to wait?

Looks awesome! When can I buy one (manual transmission is a must have)!

Guys, once this gets closer I'm sure we'll be able to bounce questions off MB USA but right now we don't have much info

I am looking into the CLA 220 - not having owned a mercedes before nor an automatic vehicle...wondering which option you guys have opted for between manual/auto and why?

6-speed is not available for 250.

Been a stick driver since my first car, a Saab 99 with freewheeling. Paddle shifters are a joke compared with a true manual transmission. However with only nine percent of Americans driving a stick it is a dying breed of drivers and cars.

Stick shift rules.. I still like driving my mercury Milan four cylinder manual transmission sedan out for a spin just for the fun of it..
