Thanks, that's why I said repost! I am thinking that it's accurate with the TT 4.0 litre....

Pretty much every car is coming with awd/4wd these days.. I bet in 5 to 10 years it will be a pain to get just a 2 wheel drive, front or rear..

I highly doubt it'll be called C55, but who knows.

C45? C40? :P 55 seems a bit arbitrary considering its not a 5.5L

which i dont understand. Unless you live in an area that snows, you dont need all wheel drive and in a time where fuel economy is important...awd certainly does not help.

Absolutely. They should make it an option, not mandatory.

AWD drive wont be available in RHD form. From what i saw in detriot auto show the new E63 driveshaft would interfere with a RHD layout.

While that's true on the current E63, this won't be the case in future generations of cars.

Yes but 6.2 and 6.3 are close enough

4.0 and 5.5 are too far off. Why not just keep it as c63 then even with the 4.0. Anyways not too sure myself although 45 and 55 would be my guesses. C40 may be a long shot :S

New new 63's are 5.5 . They also don't have a 2007 C55. At least none that I have seen.

The E550 has a 4.7L V8 TT, the M278. The speculation is the M177 in the C55 is a 4.0L V8 TT.

I think, actually HOPE they will keep the C63 name plate!
If the new E63 is anything to go by then it will remain a C63
