More information about the E63 AMG has been released prior to the official reveal of the entire E-Class lineup today.

I would not be surprised to see MB rationalize prices on several lines to address value/content and make the vehicles more competitive vs. the competition and remove some of the intrabrand issues. Somewhere the marketing has gone awry, especially with the R class.

Well that will be a good thing. If they hold the price on the 2007 E while adding more standard equipment it will only help. I think the Luxury and Sport models will have the same base price too...someone in Jersey is finally getting a clue about pricing.

A little update...... by merc1

The 2007 SL models go on sale this Saturday it seems. Larger volume dealers should already have them. The GL450 is at dealers now for test drives and it goes on sale officially next week, Wed the 19th I think.
 
The 07' E-Class lands in July.
 
The new CL is to be shown next month.
 
Autospies has their pic gallery up for the NY auto show, the R320 CDI is there so I guess it will really arrive this fall.

ML diesel by qbrozen

I hadn't caught this info before, so I was pretty excited to read at the Mercedes booth at the NY auto show today that the ML320 CDI is coming.
 
So, any info or projections on gas mileage? I'm thinking a combined average around 26-27 would be real nice to see on a luxo SUV like this.

Everything I've seen says at 28-30 MPG combined.

even better!
 
although, considering the ML350 takes about a 5mpg hit compared to the E350, and the E320 cdi gets 27/37 .... well, let's say that I'm certainly not counting on 30 in the diesel ML.
 
Still, at 22/32, it would do GREAT on the highway and even that city number rivals my highway number in my current sedan.

Worldcarfans (in the Germancar section) has a timeline for upcoming Mercedes 2007 (in the U.S.) model introductions.
 
Article
 
In short:
 
USA: ML63 AMG 4MATIC July 2006
USA: CLS550 September 2006
USA: CLK63 AMG Cabriolet September 2006
USA: GL450 4Matic May 2006
USA: E-Class July 2006
USA: R320 CDI October 2005 und R63 AMG 4MATIC September 2006
 
It appears that the R500 and ML500 keep the ancient SOHC 5L V8! Don't get that at all. It also mentions "further" CLK models, read CLK550.

GL arrival and other news....... by merc1

The 2007 GL450 has landed I see. The build your own feature is up at MBUSA.
 
There should be some type of announcement on the new CL very soon. I'd say sometime in the next couple of weeks or so prior to May 19th, a very big day in Stuttgart!
 
Autoweek is reporting that the G-Class' facelift will be shown at the Paris auto show this September.
 
The updated SLR "Track Sport" is also rumored to be heading for a Paris debut along with an SLR Roadster.
 
Sometime between now and then there should be an announcement about the SLK55 Tracksport. A lightened and stiffened SLK55 AMG with carbon fiber here and there and 400hp from the current 5.5L V8.

The only thing is when are the Bluetec versions of the ML,R and GL going on sale in all 50 states. Mercedes is missing out on a lot of sales by not being able to sell diesels in New York, Maine and especially Cali. A GL320 Bluetec would get really good mileage for a vehicle of its size.
