Smile MY09 G550 release date 10/15/2008

The new 550 engine will make it into the G chassis.

Release date set for 10/15/2008.

I'm 90% sure I'll get one. Finally something worth upgrading for.

I couldn't find out about the AMG motor but I suspect if they went with the G550 the G63 would also make sense. Will continue checking.

No mention of diesel for MY09. Will update if I hear anything different. Still preliminary.

I doubt there will be a G63 because of the big torque difference. The G needs to keep the 5.5L SC V8.

.........I think the G63 is probably coming. I did not think so before, but I don't see them keeping the s/ced engine just for the G.
