The New GL 63 AMG
So I definitely lost money on this one. AMG just announced the new GL 63 AMG. There are more pics / info on the AMG PL.

Bet against them producing it

Just kidding!

Europe's launch is Nov 2012 but US' launch is Q1 2013. Pricing will be announced closer to release date.
I wonder how much it'll cost because the GL550 has most options as standard so if they continue with that trend the GL63 should have most items standard as well. Compared to the ML where almost everything's an option, the price gap may be quite high between the two and the gap between the GL550 and ML63 might be pretty close.

This sounds crazy but a 2012+ white gl passed by me in the opposite direction and I swear when I looked in my side and rear mirror it had the trapezoidal quad tips. Not the 550 quad tips. I'm guessing they must have custom installed a set from another AMG 63 model - and it looked damn good.

Another option from AMS, tune netted +155 HP and 225FT torque.

I have a hard time trusting a company like Vtech chip tuning. I would choose Renntech over them every day of the week. Who is more like to stick by your side if something goes wrong? Besides, Renntech is trusted enough by Mercedes dealerships that they sell the cars new with Renntech tuning. I don't know of any Mercedes dealer that would do that with Vtech.
How about 10.79 @ 130.77 MPH

No such thing as enough.
Just like many people feel the ML350 is enough with 302hp or the ML550 is enough with 430hp and they can't fathom something with more. Well, you bought an AMG and it has 550 but of course some people are still looking for more. I haven't touched the engines on either of my AMGs because it's enough for me, but if I can add 120hp with a simple chip to unleash the engine's full capacity then I would (in reference to Renntech's chip which boosts power up to 669).

The more I look the pics the less I like the GL63. It's too soft and round looking. The styling is not aggresive enough. But I'm also not sold on the 2013 GL's in general.

AMS now has a Alpha 10 Package for the GL550 pushing 1000 HP! No longer do you need a GL63 !
