Watch the value of the current Turbo "S" model drop like a rock. Given the fact that the ML63 dusted (literally) the current S Model, I expect that the "new" 550 HP model will more of the same "over-priced" hype we've come to expect from Porsche SUV's. I anticipate that in late 09/10, Mercedes will respond in kind to this with a "boosted" or reenergized ML 63. Can you say ML 63 "Kompressor." We know the 09 ML 63 got no engine mods, but 09.5 isnt that far away and I am sure Affalterbach reads the same stuff we do.

Personally I'd go for a "Boosted" diesel Touareg before the Cayenne.

Wow, 16.1" brake discs, I have to see that in person. I can already picture the S variant with a price tag of a 997 TT, and for the same money, I would get the 997.

OP- This topic's been covered in this section already.

2manycars- The brakes won't be cross drilled and aren't as big as the optional cross drilled carbon ceramics on the new RS6. They are 16.5inches.
