Pics of ML63 From Chicago

Here are some pics of the ML63 from the Chicago autoshow.

I especially like the new styling elements: the monochromatic treatment of the window trim and mirror housings; the new front-end with the openings and front bumper treatment, the flat AMG emblem inset into the hood, and with the foglights being up where they will be more effective; and the way they provided flare protection with a double-flare in body-colored metal - instead of a strip of black plastic or rubber. I also like the fact that they kept the quad oval tailpipes. Heck, I even like the wheels(!). LOL

...Oh then there's that thing about the 6.3L AMG V8, and the adjustable Airmatic suspension, and the....

I wish that I had an excuse or niche needing filling which would allow me to own more than one or two of these.....

As stated in a previous thread......the new AMG badge for the 6.3 is gay.It's the best reason to de-badge a car I've ever seen.

NEW AMG Badge

Look in Off Topic for a picture of it. It's the new 6.3 AMG Badge. Appears on the sides of all 6.3 AMG cars.

I kinda like the 6.3 badge and I definitely LOVE what it represents (what it represents being 6.2L of 510HP V8 baby )

Simply put, I want one. BMW has to really step it up to compete with this car, even though I doubt the M5 Engine is going into an X5 Body. Maybe a tuned version of the new M3 V8? Right now though, it is going to be a showdown between the ML63 AMG and the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.

The badge could be better.......If it was bigger then it would be easier for people to see what spanked them.
