I was just saying that if they're going to do a AMG B-Class then why is wrong for them to do a ML63?

Who said it's wrong? I didn't! ML AMG hasbeen produced for many years already and it's selling well. Nothing wrong with that one.

First things first:

When are we going to see this engine in MB's sports cars?!

That's exactly it Tycoon. I'm sure everyone said the same thing when a high-performance SUV first came out - no one had done anything like it, it was totally unique and there was nothing else like it in the marketplace. They were taking a risk, and obviously it succeeded, so much so.

That's what MB is trying to recreate with the R63 AMG. They are doing something that's totally unique and so absurd to the current mindset that we're bound to say "This is ridiculous!" But, like the high-performance SUV, the high-performance MPV might be the next big thing.

Yes, good point, TS. Same thing like with 1st SUV model with monster AMG engine, i agree. It's just that i don't see any success with this one, VAN/MPV/Sport Tourer whatever with monster engine. I might be wrong though and as i've said if it meets MB's expectations i withdraw everything i've said. But (as i only speak for myself) for me that's ridiculous and i wouldn't buy one ever. They want a market/customer feedback and since i can afford one without problem i can consider myself as a customer, so here's form me: No way! No way i'm gonna spend like what? More than 100k for a MPV, not even AMG. Hell no!

I wish them success with this one, but i don't think it's going to happen. It's a risk that already costs too much and might cost even more. We'll see...

This is what I wanted!!

What the hell happened? Is it the rims and color of this thing that make the production model look so tame? What else is different? This the R63 I wanted!
