At 570 horses, I don't see why they should abandon the 6.2 liter engine. It can easily by brought up to the 570 horse spec without FI.

I suppose a twin turbo 5.4 liter is better fuel efficiency than a NA 6.2 liter with same horse power specs....also I believe the 5.4 liter engine is much less cost to produce.

Perhaps the experts will chime in.

20+ to list......
I'm sure the AMG bodykit would make the next CLS very desirable, if the rumored 5.0L V8 twin turbo is indeed true, (Will have to call some people to get a definite answer on that.) I'm getting one for sure. This is not the first time AMG downsize the displacement of a motor and add forced induction to it, ie. the C32 was the successor replacing the C43, which its V8 was replaced by a supercharged V6.

The most pressing question I have after reading that article is which of those models/engines will be sold in the US (magazines usually give the complete lineup with an idea of which will be sold where).

I am most excited about the CLS350 CDI, hopefully they will pick a different number though to differentiate from the CGI. It will be more powerful, so perhaps, CLS360 CDI? That would be a nice homage to the M104 AMG 36 engines.

The CLS was first manfactured at the end of 2004 in Europe and came to the US in January 2005. It was never-the-less always called a "2006" model.

Just think, CLS63TT with MCT Tranny. What a beast. I hope they enlarge the rear wheel wells for some big fat 355s.

It's ok, but I would more than likely trade up on a 08-09 in a couple of years.

I guess it's all about the person and what they like.
