School me on next ML63...

I've been out of a Benz and the community for quite a while. Time to replace my Rover Sport SC and looking outside LR this time as I want something more performance orientated. My short list in order is Macan Turbo, ML63 AMG (next gen) & X5M (next Gen). Seeing as I can't order CCB's on the Macan until fall, I can wait for MY 2015 ML and X5, both I believe are new models for 2015.

Recently road in my friends new S63 AMG and was blown away by its gadgetry. So my ML interest has been rekindled. Will the new ML63 be released for 2015 with the rest of the ML line, or will there be a delay? I have found some spy shots...anyone know of any perf #s or interesting details (i.e. full LCD display) that may make the ML more appealing? Current #s fall short of the Macan T perf wise.

I did a quick search for 2015 ML63 and didn't find much here...so pardon if I missed it. Again have been out of the Benz game for quite some time so hoping one of you can get me up to speed for the new AMG ML.

TIA

Have you seen this article...sorry if old\repost. Sounds like it will be a bit more than headlights. I am interested to see what else under the hood has changed, hoping something besides electric. Interior looks to get some of the techy upgrades too. Or would the 63 get the upgrades next year?
