Looking at the statistics for the 2006 Mercedes C-Class models and the SLK, I think it would be cool to have 2006 Crossfire's with the 3.5 engine and 6-speed manual trans. That would give 268 horsepower and a newer trans. I haven't seen any mention of the 2006 specs for the Crossfire yet, but it would be lame for them not to put the 3.5 engine in it.
