No offense, but to me, the R63 AMG and the ML63 AMG are some of the most pointless cars out there. Autobild tested the ML63 AMG and said it was totoally incapable of going offroad anymore. Why would you buy a high performance SUV when it can't even go offroad? I know many SUV buyers don't take their SUV offroad, but I would. And I also would never get an ML500 or ML63 AMG simply because the fuel economy is so piss poor...  |
I understand where you're coming from Chris
If I lived in Europe, I'd go for a CDI too. I'd never want to pay $8 a gallon for gas. All I was trying to say is that I think the R500 should be powerful enough to move a large vehicle, especially when it's full of passengers.
As for the ML63 and R63, I know that they can't go offroad. Which of the German light trucks can go offroad? None to my knowledge. But they still sell. The ML63/R63 won't sell in huge numbers, and that's what makes them exclusive and one of a kind.

Yea, they will be replaced soon. I was told this summer, but I don't know what's taking them this long. I mean almost all other MB models have gotten it, except for CLK, and GL.
