Not sure where your getting the 0-60 times from.....This is what comes up under "Specifications" (then you choose "Performance"). That site is so screwed up, I wouldn't go by the side by side comparison. Although, if MB truly posts the car at 0-60 in 6.2sec, its because they don't want to show it as faster than the S500.

Performance

Acceleration 0-60 mph TBA

Fuel economy

EPA estimate 16 mpg

Highway estimate 23 mpg

Emission certification Ultra Low Emission Vehicle (ULEV)

bmms8,

I got a few articles that states 0-60 times at 5.8. MB usually is pretty conservative when posting 0-60 times on their specs.

The sound of 5 just seems more impressive, hahahaha
