God help you ML guys....ML63 to be made in BAMA????

Vance-built Mercedes-Benz vehicles are getting some high-profile treatment.

The German automaker that has invested $1 billion in Alabama said it will unveil the new, souped-up version of its M-Class sport utility - called the ML63 AMG - at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt on Sept 12. It also released the first pictures of the SUV, which has a top speed of 155 mph.

The Alabama-made ML63 will be the first Benz equipped with a new 6.3-liter, V8 engine capable of 503 horsepower and going from zero to 60 in under five seconds.


I am a fellow American worker, but have to admit, noone does like Deustchland. Chummy up with your service center now, and pray that the guy that slaps your ML Beast together isn't another pi$$ed off UAW worker.

MB must have a lot of faith with the folks down in Alabama.

It doesn't change my mind though, I still want the new ML63
