I have heard a commercial for a while touting a 7-spd auto in the new M-B. What's up with that?? Is the engine in that M-B so small they need that many gears or is the engine so torky it can pull the obviously overdriven tranny. How many gears do you need anyways. I suspect a PR ploy.....Russ ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
