2006 ML 63 AMG arrived! Whooowww!
New 2008 C220 CDI AMG Sportpackage arrived. More sporty handeling than my 2002 C32T AMG!
2008 Audi R8 arrived!
WOW.. that's very interesting. With all the supercharged engines out by AMG I would have thought the ML was going to have forced induction as well! Very cool specs though... [:p]

I have never really loved the exterior design of the W164s but this is one good looking truck!

Anyway, the ML is getting the new standard V8 AMG engine. Eventually every AMG V8 model will get it. No more SuperCharged engines for AMG, to thirsty and can't comply with ever stricter emissions standards.
Peronally, I love the SuperCharged V8s becuase of all the torque. Torque seems more luxurious than high revving HP.
And if its north of $100K, I doubt it will sell well. My feeling is it should be no more than $80K base.
