Mercedes is going for BIG displacement!
Scans from CAR magazine, 07/03 edition:




Wow! BMW and Mercedes are having a Germany power war!

power war
question is, who's going to win?? Mercedes may have the brawn, but BMW will always have the handling for sure. . .

My family just got an ML55 AMG, for an SUV, that thing is lightning fast, but when I got the '03 V8, I think they were a bit ticked off since the ride is so much better in the 4Runner and with a supercharger, I could EASILY pull ahead of the AMG in a straight run.

But I'm staying NA on the advice from you guys. . .
