The V6 will be eventually 50-state certified and that's what you'll be able to get.
so is it worth the wait. i mean when i read the article on edmunds they said 290 hp with 500 pounds of torque. V6 cannot produce this unless the engine is changed. hence it has to be a different engine.

as i know that the 1st year prod is always a problem for other car makers.
How is MB quality compared to other cars like japanese ones. that decides if it is wrth the wait, and i hope the wait is not 2 years else i will get the GL450 now.
