Manuals don't sell well in higher end Mercedes', hence they've been dissapearing from sight in them. A Mercedes with a manual is hard to sell - because the majority of buyers out there want the automatic. The same is true to a large extent in the used car market, except once in a while someone will come along and look for a manual C350 etc.
