AMG Owners poll Smaller Motors ???
This question is just for current/past CLS owners.
Currently our cars come with either 5.5L supercharger or 6.2L high output.
Will you trade/sell your car to get a 5.0L twin turbo with better mileage ?
CLS 63 AMG - A 6.2 L V8, generating 378 kW (514 hp DIN), and 630 N·m (465 ft·lbf)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_CLS-Class
So did an owner complain to MB about their "full throttle" mileage .... what a joke, they should just TT the 6.2L
--------------------------------------------------------
From Motor Authority:
"According to a new report, AMG will replace its still-new 6.2L V8 with a brand new 5.0L V8 twin-turbo. There are several reasons behind the decision: the new 6.2L has horrendous fuel consumption at full throttle and it lacks the low-end grunt of the previous supercharged 5.5L V8.
There will be several versions of the new force-fed 5.0L mill, a base version with 570hp and 665lb-ft of torque to replace the 6.2L V8"

Most people who are putting out 100k+ for a car probably don't care too much about the gas milage the car is getting. I would like to see a turbo verson for the lower model amg's (55/63's), a turbo should make for an easy power upgrade with a chip.
Also after driving both the 55, and 63, I understand why people say the 63 has no "low end grunt", it just does not have that initial pull the 55's have.
