More new info...I guess SBC IS toast for E...facelift coming shortly too!!
With the opening of the new Mercedes museum in Stuttgart Untertuerkheim the new CL (C216 becomes; Coupé on basis of the new s-class) presents. It has further 2 doors and with the new M273 V8 generation as well as the V12 is equipped. In the spring it gives then a Facelift for the e-class (some change outside and inside as well as new V8 engine M273 and E 63 AMG). Besides the SBC brake is replaced by a conventional brake with SBC similar functions. The SL receives likewise a Facelift, however the SBC keeps brake until its successor 2012 on the market comes. 2006 will likewise give it a limited edition of the CLK DTM Cabrios. It has the new M156 E 63 V8-Sauger of AMG with 510 HP. This engine is implemented gradually into all series. Also into the at the beginning of 2007 appearing new C-class sedan (W204).
