Mercedes Benz Future Model Plans
http://www.autocarmagazine.com/news_...p?na_id=207471
"mv" already talked about this, but I'm giving here the link so all can read about MB's upcoming plans for the next few years.
As a suspected, the 5.0 will get replaced in 2006 for a 5.5 liter V-8, and power will go from 306 Horsepower to 410 !!
And the AMG 5.5 supercharged will get replaced and there will be that new 6.3 AMG naturally aspirated engine for the S & CL & ML & SL class .... 
There will be a new R class SUV crossover concept aimed at higher price bracket than the ML, it will be bigger and more expensive and more luxurious ....... and looks like the S 430 will get named the S 460 with a 4.6 liter 360 horsepower V-8 making up the bottom of the line S-Class ...
And the SL gets updated with SLR-like front end and updates next year .....

MB & BMW
Mercedes are chaging the models up too much and leaving us customers behind.. they should leave some time in bofore they start chaging the models and looks every year or 2.
