sadly only 342. but it does have 387 torque. i say sadly because the bmw m3 is a 6 cylinder and has 333 hp and the clk is a v8. but i can't wait until mb releases the new equivalant to the 55 engine w/ the 63 engine which will have 503hp nomally aspirated. Whoa 342 hp is already a lot for a car.... 503 hp would be more like a Ferrari or M5. Nice car! |

One thing i have noticed about Mercedes, their torqe always seems to be more than HP. I bet when launched they throw your head into the seat.

yeah that's what i notices as well on the mb. it's just that hp is tlaked a lot more about than torque. that's why their engines are kind of talked down upon. we dont' sell cars really. we don;t seem to let cars go. we usually end up getting rid of cars either when they're dead or stolen or something. i mean we still have a 70 cad. we have the 70 cad 92 bm 325i 97 s500 renntech airbox 99 ml430 renntech perfomance package 1 01 clk55 soon hopefully turbocharged r63

the mercedes r-class. the new replacement engine for the 55 is the 63 which is a 6.3 liter v-8. they're gonna have an r63. they are talking about doing a turbo version of that motor. so hopefully ther'll be such thing as a r63 turbo. so aka the e55 will eventually turn over to an e63. the 63 motor will be revealed on the new m-class should be whithin the next month.

r isn't a minivan. it's a grand sports tourer. don't argue. i really want to leave this place is so disorganized. have to jump through so many threads just to get to a thread. too little traffic.

oh yeah. i look at the r-class as a wagon on steroids. because it's pretty much a wagon but just taller. sitting in the back seriously reminds me of a maybach. cuz the seats can recline really far and can move front and back. optional center console for teh 2nd row and it has optional headrest tvs. and the rear window is really long like the bachs. trust me you have to sit in it (r-class) before you differ

I sat in the drivers seat and the back seat at the cqar show, the exterior is not my cup of tea, but the interior was nice.

yeah that styling is also a hate it or love it type of thing. i really like the interior. can't wait till the amg comes out. get the 3 zone climate 2 tvs panoramic roof and we all set for roadtrip. just stick the 360 in there and we good 2 go.

lol that'd be pretty sweet. But if i were to go on a long road trip, i'd definatly do it in a conversion van. With the huge ass TVs and you can walk around in them. That'd be sweet
