I know there isn't much info out there but I am curious if 2012 model will not be subject to gas guzzler tax?

I was told the gas guzzler tax won't apply to 2012 TT version.

No, it was not a dealer; otherwise, I wouldn't have quoted the information.

Nerverthless, whoever mentioned that turned out was wrong......I just realized that the Gas Guzzler tax is $1000 for 2011 CL63 which has TT version.

The new turbo engines are 25% more efficient than the M156 NA engines. I just built my own CLS63 (5.5TT) and there is NO gas tax. So its safe to assume no gas tax on the E as well. The CL might hit the tax due to the weight and reduction in MPG.

Hi Hypirion,

Thanks a lot for clarification. I indeed didn't take it in a wrong way at all......

I do hope dealer won't get too unhappy about we joking a bit here.

Can this mean Vic might be getting a 2012 CLS63 AMG?

None
CLS63 with 5.5TT avoids the Gas Guzzler tax, and its heavier than the E63 will be.
I don't see how the E63 wouldn't be exempt.

Beat me to the punch, but, yes...2012 CLS63 doesn't have the GG tax and my best guess is that the E63 will not either.
