Here's the exact quote as a reminder
All the Mercedes press releases said that it's going to be in the S63 first.

This innovative, autonomously developed eight-cylinder power unit from Affalterbach sets new standards in terms of fuel consumption and exemplary efficiency: the new S 63 AMG, in which the V8 biturbo will have its market debut, consumes only 10.5 litres per 100 kilometres (NEDC combined consumption, provisional figure).

LOL, I never said that. I posted an official press release that said that the S class would be the first one to get it, not the E class. You asked for confirmation of that statement.
Here's the exact quote as a reminder
The site is not an "official" MB site but that's an official press release. That's how news works. A company issues a press release and then different news organizations report it.

Furthermore, from what I and others can tell, emercedesbenz.com does not appear to be either an official site or a news site. AMG Dictator characterized it as a blog site. Others may feel the same, albeit perhaps different from your opinion. Even their own "About Us" page quotes they also post "RUMORS;" in case you missed that one as well.
Furthermore, unless it's ghost text, no where on the hyperlink you provided earlier indicated any of that information on the 5.5TT S Class install was a Press Release or any other fact based piece of info. Therefore, your quote you mentioned above appears to be even more flawed (as a reminder
).I'm sure all members on this board (including you) better appreciate facts on issues/questions/solutions rather than fiction. I recommend confirming info before posting; which I'm sure many aspire to do.
I'll close this way. Remember, when you point one finger out, there's at least three pointing right back at cha'.
If anyone can post on release dates for the 2011 models, that would be helpful. Otherwise, this thread can die a slow death.
Now, let's all be friends.
Happy
to all,EC

John, reading is one thing comprehension is another. Learn the difference. LOL. I said you used it in your response, which is a fact not an exaggeration.

That must mean that this is an official MB press release right? Wow, it's amazing what you can find by typing "AMG 5.5 V8 Press Release" into Google.
Generally speaking, when you see several sites running the same story and pictures, it means it's a press release.
