Which V8 for 2007
Does anyone know which V8 engine (besides the 6.2ltr) will be used in the 2007 model? I'm assuming the 5.0 liter is history and would like to know if the 4.7 or 5.5 liter engine will be available.

The R500, ML500 and G500 all keep the old V8 for 2007, see article.

I don't understand this either because I think a ML450 and a fully loaded ML550 would make the M more popular, ditto for the R-Class, but nope they keep the ancient 5L SOHC V8 for 2007.
There was another member here that posted the order guide for the 07 ML and it did indeed show the old V8 for 07'. I didn't believe it at first, but now I guess it is officials.
I personally think Mercedes is waiting until the new V8s get direct injection before putting them in the ML/R.

Could it be they are planning to introduce in the GL first and have a trickle down effect? Although I would think the 450 would be adequete for the ML, so why wait
