Well as the C&D story was on the 3.5 going into the E class and C class cars instead of the 3.2 that means they'll not be making many 3.2s anymore ! so why make them if all things performance wise is better they can drop it into the Crossfire too.And the cost increase was a few hundred in the E and C cars !!!!!!That far from 3k or more that the new SLK isn't.Check V6 price not the 4 banger kompressor.
