Good post and perspective, but these are the times we live in. This is why I don't care about Mercedes losing a comparo to BMW anymore based on handling and not having a manual. Different cars bring different things to the table and not all products can do everything.

I really don't want a GL63, but I'm sure it is coming. I agree it really is pointless. The ML63 is the only SUV AMG should be doing unless customer demand (and I mean people angry, storming dealerships with checks in their hands) is so great as to where MB has to do a GL63 AMG. I doubt such demand is present. Now the original G55 should get the same engine from the revised SL55 (517hp) for its remaining years because it is already on the market and a cult-classic, and let the ML63 represent the sportier side of MB suvs. No R63 or GL63. Now the R63 I was all for until I saw how much style/aggression the production version lost from that concept at Frankfurt last year.

Enough is a enough and Mercedes would do better spending the money used to develop the GL/R63 models on better interiors for all three cars GL/ML/R and providing more standard features.
