Looks like we'll be getting the 4.0 Twin Turbo V8 in the 550. Better for when you visit Colorado! May be time to pull the trigger. Although not a fan of the new lower bumper.

I am afraid the 4.0L turbo will not have enough power to push this machine. The 5.5L drives really well with no lag at all.

Car & Driver seemed to think the 4.7 is plenty quick with an estimated 0-60 under 6 seconds for the G500 4x4 2. I imagine it will deliver near 63 levels of speed in the 550 when it comes out.
