Guess?

OK - I'll say that I think that it will get both the 6.3L motor and the 7-speed transmission at some point in the future.

But it's just a guess...and it probably won't happen.

Did that help?

I doubt it because of the limited production numbers and the lack of torque compared to the 5.5L SC engines. The old 5.5L V8 fits the G better IMO because of the torque and that intoxicating noise it makes. The G is keeping the old 5L V8 in G500 form too so I don't see the new generation V8s making it into our old friend before he expires in 2010 or so.

Look for more details after the Paris show in September, that is when the updated Gelaendewagen will debut. A twin turbo 6.3 is a real possibility for 2008.

We'll see, but I doubt it.
