I can't believe MB USA leaking information like that before a press release. Highly suspicious.

Minor face lift in 2009, SLK63 in 2010? Don't count on it.

Highly doubt it, they should of installed the 6.2L for the facelift and not a year later where the R172 will be 2-3 years in a followup.

I'll be very surprised if we see it in the R-171. It makes more sense IMHO to wait until the R-172 is unvailed.

.. but if the R172 is leaked, a 63 might help sell off the old () R171's.

I'd bet on a SLK turbo for the future. Less cc's than the 55 and tweaked to meet Euro enviro standards.

What is that picture in your post #15 above supposed to be? Is it photo shopped? Or is it an actual prototype picture?
