Possible SLK 63 AMG in 2009

[edit] Unverified rumours
According to Automobile Magazine, based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, a hatchback-coupe version should be available in 2009, possibly with an SLK63 AMG variant with the new 6.2L (advertised as 6.3 by Mercedes-Benz) DOHC V8 made by AMG.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_R171

There has been a lot of talk if the SLK 63 will actually be made...so does anybody know if this is true...does anybody get the Automobile Magazine...I stopped ordering those about 4 years ago.

Correct , this topic was discussed at the AMGFest in October and Rob Allan explained the the new 6.3 motor with the 2 fuel pumps physically couldn't fit on the current chasis.He said look for a new SLK in 08' or 09'.

I really don't know - but that would be my take on it as well: maybe at some point in the future, definately not with the current chassis.
