The E,S,SLK,SL and GL all did their part. The R-Class continues to be the laggard of the bunch.

Mercedes-Benz SLR 722 Edition Revealed! by merc1
Jul 10, 2006 (2:32 am)
Reply

 
A continuing tradition: the new model variant SLR "722 Edition" is a homage by Mercedes-Benz to the unforgettable victory won by the British racing legend Stirling Moss and his co-driver Denis Jenkinson in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR with the starting number 722 (indicating a start time of 7.22 a.m.) at the Mille Miglia in 1955. With an output of 478 kW/650 hp and a corresponding performance, the new super sports car, which goes on sale on July 11, will not only make the hearts of car enthusiasts beat faster.

R320 by wopel

Checking for updates on the arrival of the R320. Also, does anyone have any news on the price of same, and the gas mileage expected? I am hoping that MB would like to sell more Rs and that they won't jack up the price of the diesel so high that it negates the better gas mileage.

I'd say around Oct. or so because of the fuel requirements the new V6 engine has, and the new low sulfur diesel has just started being used in some areas.

Thanks. You always seem to have your finger on the pulse of things. My dealer is very small and always slow to get vehicles, and not much faster on info! I do love the new GL, but don't want to spend that much money. I may have to "settle" for the R to get size/space and diesel. I continue to read good things about the R, but surely JD Powers used it to send MB ratings plummeting. I sit and wait!

It appears the first pics of the CL63 have been put up on one of MB's websites:
 

 
It appears that the CL63 will have a 525hp version of the new 6.2L V8, naturally aspirated.

Thanks for the pictures: sales are going great. We should see a solid double digit increase this year.
 
Have a look at today's Autoextremist - is this true? If so, who came up with the idea?
 
Homogenization and decline of Mercedes image: upcoming DCX "Phoenix" V-6 corporate engine program will see identical engines in Chrysler and Mercedes...

Well the autoextremist often talks out of places where people shouldn't.
 
There is no way a Chrysler and a Benz are going to have "identical" engines.
 
They may start out with the same block or design at some point down the road, but you can bet the MB version will be high-end throughly different from the Chrysler version.
