Not even close. I dont like that white/black combo... And the interior is even worse.

I wonder if/when they will announce the new twin turbo engine. Im waiting for that one to trade my 2009 for. Depreciation on these cars can be pretty harsh. Thats why im glad ive already had mine for 2 years. Maybe a year from now, i can do the trade and the loss would have been more or less justified after 3 years of driving and ownership.

Seems this question comes up every year about this time. And someone always seems to have the inside scoop. I'll believe it when I see it.

I noticed the 2012 has the 7 speed gtronic is this new on the G550/500 or was it there on previous models?

Does that mean the 55 will be next in line? I just just got the 2011 and im loving the high revs but feel the new gearbox on 55 will be much smoother on the highway.
