I can put them in the order banks to get pulled... can take a $500 refundable deposit until I get a PO (which can take a few weeks and after would take another $1500).. hoping the DOG gets updated tomorrow or later today for the 53's...

New engine should be awesome..INLINE SIX.. turbo w/ EQ boosted electric turbo/compressor... video explains it and 1st impressions

Seems like a downgrade for those of us with the 63

I agree.. 577 hp to 469 is down.. i think acceleration times wont be THAT far off (new car lighter, new trans and all wheel drive systems)... but the CLS63 guys will have to go to the E63 or the AMG GT63 sedan/coupe if they want to keep 8 cylinder turbos and upgrade to new car (or mod the heck out of your current car !! or not lol
